James Arthur Hopcroft disappeared from East Gwillimbury, Ontario on July 11, 1997. He was a resident of the Cedar Haven Rest Home and walked away from the facility that day; searches of the surrounding area and checks at local hospitals did not turn him up. He had a history of wandering and had previously been located at the Queen Street Mental Health Centre, but he did not appear there after this disappearance.

At the time he vanished Hopcroft was described as a Caucasian male, slender build, about 5 feet 10 inches and 139 pounds, with grey partially bald hair, hazel eyes and tattoos on both arms. He was believed to be wearing blue jeans, a red plaid shirt and black running shoes when last seen. The York Regional Police Service lists the case as unresolved and no trace of him has been found.

Are there readers who remember James, his usual routes, or who have any information that could help the ongoing investigation?
