James Cook Bogardus Jr., 53, was last seen on June 19, 2024, in Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina. He left a friend’s home and began walking toward Wilmington Highway; that was the last confirmed sighting and he has not been heard from since.

Bogardus is described as a white male, 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 3 inches tall, slender, about 125 to 130 pounds, with blue eyes, short brown hair, and a medium-length grey beard. He has numerous upper-body tattoos, including a spiderweb on his right chest, a heart with a Dixie symbol on his left chest, a flag and skull on his lower left arm, a snake and skull on his lower right arm, a web, face and heart on his upper left arm, and a devil and skull on his upper right arm. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a dirty white Under Armour t-shirt, and tennis shoes.

The Onslow County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and the family remains without news. Did anyone in the Jacksonville or Wilmington Highway area see James on or after June 19, 2024?
