James Clemons was 72 and working as a truck driver from Brooklyn when he disappeared on June 17, 2000, during a work trip to deliver a truck to Milwaukee. He had been with the same company for about ten years and handled yard maintenance but agreed to drive despite reporting recent memory lapses that may have been early Alzheimer’s disease.

That morning he got stuck in the mud near Rochester, Minnesota; local police helped him back on the road and gave directions to Milwaukee. Clemons never reached the destination. He was last seen walking away from his truck near the Interstate 90 and Interstate 43 junction in Beloit, Wisconsin; his Vulcan Basement Waterproofing truck was later found abandoned on Millington Road. Investigators linked credit card activity to his account at a Conoco in Albert Lea, Minnesota, and later in Champaign, Illinois, and Des Moines, Iowa, but Clemons himself was not found. He was last seen wearing a blue and white velour shirt, jeans, and black boots and may have been disoriented.

Anyone who knew James, saw him on June 17, 2000, or has information about his movements is asked to contact the Beloit Police Department.
