James Edward Walker, 56, was last heard from on April 18, 2018, in Columbia, South Carolina. His family, unable to reach him as days turned into weeks, reported him missing on May 2, 2018. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches, weighing 220 to 235 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation, but public details about his last known movements or possible leads are scarce. Unlike many missing-person cases that receive media attention, there have been no public pleas or news reports that shed light on his life or what may have happened after April 18, 2018.

If anyone knew James, saw him around mid-April 2018, or has information that could help locate him, please contact the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.
