Justin Emile Cosey, known to family as Jay, was 16 when he disappeared from his New Orleans home in the summer of 2002. He was last seen with brown hair in braids, wearing a white t-shirt, dark-colored shorts and white high-top sneakers. Justin is Black, has hazel eyes and a noticeable scar on his face.

On the day he vanished he reportedly left intending to walk to his grandmother’s house but was seen getting into a white, two-door 1989 Chevrolet sedan and was never heard from again. Some accounts say he may have been heading to see his girlfriend. The New Orleans Police Department lists him as an endangered missing person and the investigation remains open.

Few public details have been released and his family continues to seek answers. If anyone knew Justin, saw him in New Orleans that summer, or has information about a white two-door 1989 Chevrolet sedan, please come forward.
