James C. Johnson was 46 when he was last seen on December 7, 2006, near the Fire Island Inlet Bridge in Babylon, New York. He was described as six feet tall, about 210 pounds, wearing blue jeans, a construction-style jacket and work boots. A witness reported seeing him in the water near the bridge; the witness lost sight of him shortly afterward and he was never seen again.

An immediate search of the inlet and surrounding shoreline was conducted but turned up no trace. The reasons James was in the water that day are not known and it is unclear whether accident or other circumstances were involved. The investigation continued but produced no public leads.

Does anyone who knew James or who was near the Fire Island Inlet on December 7, 2006, have information that could help clarify what happened?
