Jim Dale Rathbun, 36, was last seen in Lincolnton, North Carolina, on April 14, 2023. His family and local law enforcement grew increasingly concerned when he did not return and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation on April 26, 2023 — twelve days after his last confirmed sighting.

Rathbun is described as a white male, brown hair, blue eyes, 69 inches tall and about 130 pounds. Early investigative notes say no signs of foul play were reported, and Detective Ernesto Amaranto-Perez is assigned to the case. Despite continued appeals to the public, investigators have reported few substantive leads and the case remains open.

Who in the Lincolnton area might have seen Jim around April 14, 2023, or has information that could help clarify his movements that day?
