James C. Swenby, known by some as Jamie, was 46 when he was last seen in Madison, Wisconsin on October 31, 2021. His disappearance was not reported right away; concern grew several weeks later when no one had seen or heard from him. The circumstances of that day are unclear and little is publicly known about his activities or state of mind before he vanished.

Swenby is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, about 165 pounds, with sandy or blond hair that was balding on top and short at the sides, blue eyes, and a full beard with gray. He has a scar on the back of the right side of his head and numerous tattoos, including MR BLACK across his collar bones, Family on the back of his right bicep, Loyalty on the back of his left bicep, SWENBY vertically down his right side, portraits of his two children on his left shoulder, a wolf howling at the moon on his upper back, and an angel on his right forearm.

The Madison Police Department is handling the investigation, with assistance from the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults. There have been few significant leads, and no known witnesses, digital footprint, or surveillance footage has been reported. If anyone knew James, saw him around Madison after October 31, 2021, or has information that could help, please come forward.
