James Skelton Missing Person Case

James Ray Skelton, aged 27, was last seen on March 6, 1986, in the 5000 block of Halle Street in Houston, Texas. At the time of his disappearance, Skelton was working for Canopy Erectors and also as a mechanic. He was wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers when he was last seen. Skelton, who went by the nicknames "Bird" and "Buzzard," had multiple tattoos, including one on the inside of his left forearm.

Despite efforts to locate him, Skelton has never been heard from again, and very few details have emerged about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. His case remains unsolved, and law enforcement continues to seek information that could help solve it.

If anyone has any information, they are encouraged to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office. His case is still listed in both the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) and other missing persons databases.
