Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP50639) and 10 other sources
On August 29, 2017, 36-year-old Jimmy 'Lee' Isom was last seen at his home on Cable Creek Road in Asheboro, North Carolina. The day before he went missing, he was seen driving a silver Dodge Charger with tinted windows. At the time of his disappearance, Isom was described as a white male, standing at six feet tall and weighing around 225 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and camouflage shorts, and he was not wearing any shoes. A tattoo of a cross on his wrist is one of his distinguishing features.

The circumstances surrounding Jimmy Isom's disappearance are considered suspicious, and law enforcement has stated they suspect foul play was involved. The Randolph County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation and has been treating the case as an active homicide investigation. Despite their belief that Isom was likely killed, authorities have not received information leading to the location of his body. The lack of significant leads has made the investigation challenging for officials.

Over the years, efforts have been made to encourage the public to come forward with any information they might have. Rewards have been offered for information that could lead to a breakthrough in the case. The Governor's office has contributed to the reward fund, which at one point reached a total of $15,000. The case remains an active and open investigation, with law enforcement continuing to seek answers for Isom's family and community. The overview of the case reflects a man who vanished from his home with very few initial clues. The investigation quickly turned into a homicide case based on evidence gathered by the Randolph County Sheriff's Office, though specifics of that evidence have not been publicly released. The substantial rewards offered indicate the seriousness with which law enforcement is treating the case and their need for public assistance to solve it.
