James Garfield Broome, also known by his middle name Garfield, was 42 when he vanished from Jersey City, New Jersey. He was last officially seen on July 1, 1998. At disappearance he was described as a Black male, between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 inches tall, 130 to 150 pounds, with black balding hair, brown eyes and a mustache. No public details are available about what he was wearing or doing that day.

The New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit is handling the case. In 2001 there was a possible sighting in Morristown that led the Morristown Police Department to assist. An age-progressed photo showing what Broome might look like at 66 was later released to help generate leads. The case remains open and lacks clear public information about his last movements.

If anyone has memories of James Broome, saw someone matching his description after July 1, 1998, or has other information, please share it with the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit.
