James Oody, 35, was last seen on January 23, 2025, in the 3900 block of Chapman Highway in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was a passenger in a vehicle that stopped there and exited, leaving all of his personal belongings in the car. His sudden departure without possessions prompted concern and a missing person report was filed with the Knoxville Police Department the next day under case number 25-002357.

Oody is described as a white male, 6 feet 1 inch tall, about 200 pounds, with blue eyes; his hair color was not specified. Chapman Highway is a busy thoroughfare in South Knoxville, which could mean potential witnesses were nearby but no confirmed sightings have been reported since he left the vehicle. No communication from him has been reported, and investigators are trying to reconstruct his movements and state of mind before he walked away.

If anyone saw James Oody on January 23, 2025, or knows anything about his whereabouts, please contact the Knoxville Police Department and reference case 25-002357.
