James M. Shay, 46, disappeared from Kerhonkson, New York, on October 25, 2011. He was described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, about 175 pounds, with short brown hair, blue eyes and slight beard growth. At the time he was believed to be wearing blue jeans, a possibly grey sweatshirt and brown work boots; he had a previously fractured right clavicle treated earlier that year.
Authorities and volunteers searched Kerhonkson and surrounding rural, wooded areas after his family reported him missing; those early efforts produced no sign of him. Investigators did recover his vehicle, a black 1998 Dodge 330 Series pickup, noted in the case file as being found at a scene of jump. Investigators have said they found no evidence of foul play, and no further public leads have emerged.
If anyone in the Kerhonkson area around October 25, 2011, remembers seeing James, his truck, or anything unusual that night, please share what was seen or heard.
