James Kahlstorf, 59, was last seen in Hubbard County, Minnesota on April 19, 2008. Family in Williston, North Dakota say he had talked about visiting his mother’s grave that day. At the time he disappeared he was wearing blue jeans with a western-style belt, a deerskin-colored lined vest, pack boots and white socks.

James was American Indian or Alaska Native, stood between 6 feet 3 inches and 6 feet 5 inches tall, and weighed about 165 to 175 pounds. He had graying hair, brown eyes, a crippled left foot, a discolored nose and a scar on his abdomen. He was illiterate but could recognize his own name and was described as street-smart and a quick learner.

The Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office has the case and it remains open. Few details have emerged and there has been no public resolution. If anyone saw James in Hubbard County around April 19, 2008, or has information about his planned visit to his mother’s grave, please come forward.
