In the summer of 2015, a sense of quiet concern settled over a neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as 80-year-old James Kirby Meek seemingly vanished from his own home. On July 18th, the familiar presence of the elderly man ceased, and he was reported missing that same day. James, a Caucasian male, was described as being between 5'5" and 5'8" tall and weighing a slight 115 to 120 pounds. He had a full head of white hair, and possibly a white mustache. He wore glasses, and it was noted that while his daughter stated his eyes were brown, official records listed them as green. Distinguishing marks included a three to four-inch scar on his right arm and another scar on his stomach. The last time anyone saw him, he was at his residence, and the circumstances surrounding how he went missing from such a familiar place remain unclear. The investigation into James Meek's disappearance was handled by the Tulsa Police Department. Details about what he was last seen wearing are sparse, with only his glasses being noted as an item he had with him. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) in September 2017, more than two years after he was last seen. This public-facing database provided a centralized location for information regarding his case, including physical descriptions and photographs, in the hope that someone might come forward with information. Years have passed since James Kirby Meek was last seen at his Tulsa home. His case is a quiet but persistent mystery. The lack of detailed information regarding his activities on the day he disappeared or any potential reasons for his absence has left both his family and investigators with few leads to follow. The official narrative remains that he was last seen at his residence, a simple fact that offers no comfort and no answers. The overview of this case is one of an elderly man who disappeared without a trace from the very place he should have been safest, leaving a void of information and a family waiting for any news.
