Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP119668)
On March 30, 2024, 16-year-old James Edward Sandford, a male teenager, was last seen in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania, in Northampton County. Public missing-person listings tied to NamUs case MP119668 identified him as a White / Caucasian male with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 120 pounds. The available public details described the last-seen location only as Mount Bethel, PA, and the known circumstances were limited, with the location or circumstances of
his disappearance listed as unknown.
The information released publicly about James’s disappearance was sparse, which often makes a missing-person case especially painful for family, friends, and the surrounding community. What was known was that a young person had gone missing from a small Pennsylvania community, and that his case was entered under case number MP119668. Publicly indexed missing-person notices repeated the same core identifying details: James was 16 when he went missing, last seen in Mount Bethel on March 30, 2024, with brown hair, brown eyes, a height of 5 feet 8 inches, and a weight of about 120 pounds.
The case was associated with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, commonly known as NamUs, a national clearinghouse and resource center used for missing, unidentified, and unclaimed person cases in the United States. NamUs exists to help law enforcement, medical examiners, coroners, investigators, and families work toward resolution in these cases, and James’s listing under MP119668 placed his disappearance within that broader national system for documenting and resolving missing-person reports.
The attached case data indicates that James’s case resolution status is Alive. That means James was found alive and the matter is no longer an active missing-person case. The exact date of that resolution is not stated in the available case data provided here, and the public information is vague, so no specific recovery date can be responsibly given. What can be said with care is that the case began with the report of a 16-year-old boy last seen in Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania, on March 30, 2024, was documented through public missing-person systems under NamUs MP119668, and ultimately reached the most hopeful kind of resolution: James Sandford was located alive.Last Seen: Mar 30, 2024
