James Cameron Townsend, 56, was last seen in the Baytown, Texas, area in September 2023 when he began a drive to Tennessee to visit relatives. He rented a light blue or green Chevrolet Spark for the trip and was last in contact with family on September 9 or 10 as he left Chambers County. James is described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 7 inches, about 145 pounds, with brownish-blonde shoulder-length wavy hair and brown eyes.

Both Townsend and the rental car reportedly vanished after that departure. The Chambers County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation and assigned case number 23-001939; the search and public appeals for information have continued but produced no significant leads. Very few details about the route or possible sightings have been released.

If anyone saw James Townsend or the light blue or green Chevrolet Spark during mid-September 2023, please share what you know with the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office.
