Desirae James was 30 when her body was found in a burning 2004 Pontiac on Swinburne Street in Buffalo, New York, on November 25, 2013. Emergency responders discovered the car fire in the early morning; the Erie County Medical Examiner later ruled her death a homicide.

Buffalo police opened an investigation and asked the public for tips to identify whoever was responsible for killing James and setting the vehicle ablaze. Despite those appeals, the case has gone cold and no public announcement of an arrest or identified suspect has been made.

If anyone who lived in Buffalo then remembers seeing that Pontiac, activity on Swinburne Street that morning, or has other information about Desirae James’s death, please come forward to the Buffalo Police Department.
