James Woodard, a 43-year-old man, was last seen on May 13, 1994, in Bradenton Beach, Florida. His disappearance has remained a mystery for nearly three decades. Woodard had checked into the Tropic Isle Hotel in Bradenton Beach on May 5, 1994, and stayed there for about a week. He checked out on May 13, and this marked the last time anyone saw or heard from him. He had been living in Pinellas County, Florida, and his last day of work was April 29, just before traveling to Bradenton Beach.
Before his disappearance, Woodard purchased a .380 caliber firearm and was driving a 1993 Mazda. His family reported him missing later that year after failing to hear from him for several months. The investigation, which started in September 1994, uncovered no significant leads. To this day, there has been no trace of Woodard, and his case remains unsolved, leaving his family and investigators with few clues as to what may have happened to him.Last Seen: May 13, 1994
