James William Schmidt was 43 when he was last heard from on September 16, 2009, and reported missing the next day. He lived in Seattle and is described as a Caucasian man, 5 feet 2 inches, about 210 pounds, with brown hair, wire-rimmed glasses, a blue left eye and a gray right eye, a tattoo of two small feet on his left chest and a four-leaf clover on his left calf.

Schmidt’s vehicle was later found abandoned in Tacoma near the Narrows Bridge, a considerable distance from his Seattle home. The Seattle Police Department opened an investigation, but the case has produced few tangible leads and remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew James, saw his car near the bridge in September 2009, or has information that might help investigators is asked to come forward.
