James Cole was 21 when he vanished in the early morning of April 11, 1994, while walking home in Severna Park, Maryland. He was last seen leaving the Shangri-La restaurant alone around 1:30 a.m., visibly intoxicated. His home on Hodges Lane was a four-block walk he had done many times; he did not own a car.

Described as a white male, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 140 pounds, Cole had brown shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and a black widow spider tattoo on his right forearm. He was wearing a green rugby shirt, Levi’s jeans, beige and black sport shoes and a green Loyola baseball cap. He left behind personal belongings and never collected his final paycheck; his family says disappearing without contact was out of character.

The case has remained open. A renewed search along the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail took place in 2012 and one unconfirmed sighting at a Taco Bell was reported a month after his disappearance but was discounted by his parents. If anyone saw James in Severna Park in April 1994 or remembers details that could help, please share what is known.
