James Rowe III was 33 when he was last seen in Tucson, Arizona, in the summer of 2015. He is described as a Black/African American male, 68 inches tall, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Family contact had already lapsed by 2014, when he told them he was living in Frederick, Maryland, and they did not file a missing person report until August 7, 2019.

Investigators have pieced together a few scattered movements after 2015: records show he crossed the U.S.–Mexico border in 2016, and his last known financial activity was an ATM transaction in Mazatlán, Mexico, in 2018. Airline records from 2018 list him as a no board for a flight he was scheduled to take. The Frederick Police Department is handling the open investigation.

If anyone saw James in Tucson, Frederick, Mazatlán, or along travel routes between those places, or has information about his 2018 travel plans, please come forward.
