Details: James was last seen leaving his Woodington Road home at about 7pm on November 13, 1993. He was riding his 10-speed bike to a video store at Dorchester and Thorold Stone roads to rent a game. He had little to no money and no identification on him.

According to James’ mother, he was going from his home on Woodington Rd. to the video store which was formerly at the intersection of Dorchester Rd and Thorold Stone Rd. to rent a movie or game. An 8 minute bike ride each way.

The video store had no record of him making a rental that day. James’ bike was found four days later at the Canadian Niagara Power Building, located next to the Niagara River. Apparently it was a very strange place where his bike was found, none of the kids every played or hung out anywhere near there.

There were a number of newspaper articles released regarding James’ disappearance (see below), but unfortunately they all basically say the same thing. There were 6 different reports of a teen walking or hitchhiking in Newmarket and/or Barrie were unconfirmed and offered no additional leads to help locate James.

To date, James has not been seen or heard from and remains missing.
