James Richard Johnson, known as Jimmy, was 29 when he spoke to his mother by telephone on Christmas Day, 1986. At the time he was living in Scottsdale, Arizona, though he had told his mother he was living in Los Angeles, California. He was last seen by family on February 1, 1986, at his Scottsdale home. Johnson is described as about 5 feet 10 inches, 140 pounds, with blondish hair and hazel eyes, and was known to have mental disabilities.

The case was not reported to the Scottsdale Police Department until April 4, 1988, creating a nearly two-year gap between his last known contact and the missing-person report. There is no public information about what he was wearing, whether he had personal belongings, or how he might have been traveling when last heard from. The investigation went cold and remains unresolved, leaving his family without answers.

If anyone knew Jimmy’s routines, contacts, or movements around late 1986, please share information that could help locate him.
