James M. McLaughlin, 57, went missing from Elyria, Ohio on February 27, 1998. He is described as a white male, 6 feet tall, 180–210 pounds, with brown graying hair and blue eyes. He was under a doctor’s care for a medical condition that required medication.

McLaughlin left behind his medication, keys and checkbook at home and did not drive himself, relying on others for transportation. The last confirmed contact was the day he disappeared; no credible sightings or communications have been reported since. The Elyria Police Department opened an investigation and classifies the case as an endangered missing person, but leads have been scarce and the file has grown cold.

Does anyone in the Elyria area remember James or have information about where he might have gone on or after February 27, 1998?
