James Settles, a Black man described as 5 feet 11 inches and about 190 pounds with black hair and brown eyes, was 50 when he was last known to have had contact on February 22, 2002, in Washington, D.C. The disappearance is recorded in NamUs as MP98611; the DC Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Unit logged the report the same day under CCN# 2002-111-751.

Public case information gives only an unknown location for what happened after that last contact and lists no clothing, vehicle, tattoos, scars, or other distinguishing features. A DNA reference sample from his son, James Settles Jr., was collected and awaiting lab processing. The case resolution status remains blank, so James is still listed as unresolved.

Does anyone have information about James’s last known whereabouts or contacts in Washington, D.C., around February 2002?
