Maynard Jose James was 29 when he was last seen leaving his grandmother’s home in Chicago on December 20, 1990. He vanished that day and his family has had no contact with him since. He was a father of three.

Maynard is described as a Black/African American male with brown hair and brown eyes, between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, and weighing between 160 and 175 pounds. He had a prominent scar six to twelve inches long on one arm from a childhood injury and was wearing a mustache when last seen. The disappearance is being handled by Chicago Police Department Area Central detectives.

The circumstances of his departure and the long absence of any confirmed sightings remain unexplained and painful for his family. If anyone has information about Maynard’s whereabouts or remembers seeing him around December 20, 1990, please contact the investigators handling the case.
