Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP17470) and 3 other sources
James Mulley, age 16, disappeared on July 13, 1993, from Chino, California. On that day, James left his home to go roller skating but never returned. His sudden disappearance has left investigators and family members with little to work on, as very few details have emerged about his whereabouts since that day. Despite efforts, the case remains unsolved, and there has been no known resolution.

James is described as a Caucasian male with collar-length brown hair, blue eyes, standing 5'4", and weighing approximately 140 pounds at the time of his disappearance. He was known to frequent the local area, and law enforcement, including NamUs and other agencies, have kept his case open, urging anyone with information to come forward. His disappearance remains a mystery, and there has been a lack of publicly available photographs or significant leads to aid in the investigation. This case highlights the challenges law enforcement faces when there are limited clues or public attention.

Authorities continue to seek information in hopes of bringing closure to James Mulley's case, and they encourage anyone with relevant details to report them to the proper channels.
