One-year-old James Sorokin was last seen on the evening of May 17, 2024, in Hobe Sound, Florida. He left his residence with his mother at about 9:00 p.m., reportedly in violation of existing court orders. The next morning, May 18, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., the mother and child boarded a flight to Istanbul, Turkey, with an ultimate destination of Russia.

At the time he went missing James was described as a white male about 2 feet tall and 22 pounds, with blond or strawberry-colored hair and brown eyes. The Martin County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation; they can be contacted at 220-7087. The case was entered into the NamUs database on April 15, 2025.

James remains missing; does anyone have information about his movements around May 17–18, 2024, or about that international travel?
