Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP114730) and 3 other sources
On September 22, 2023, 31-year-old James Harken was reported missing from Bishop, California. Despite extensive searches and public appeals, information regarding his disappearance remains scarce. The California Department of Justice maintains a database of missing persons, urging anyone with information to contact local law enforcement or their toll-free hotline at 1-800-222-FIND.

In the months following Harken's disappearance, the community of Bishop has been on high alert. Notably, on November 2, 2023, another individual, 48-year-old Jeremy Peregrin Shirley, was reported missing from the same area. Shirley was last seen leaving his residence on Elm Street, riding a blue bicycle equipped with a blue milk crate on the back and a basket on the front. He was wearing a black zip-up sweater, dark-colored pants, and a black or gray hat at the time.

The proximity in timing and location of these two cases has raised concerns among residents and authorities. While there is no confirmed connection between the disappearances of Harken and Shirley, the Bishop Police Department continues to investigate both cases diligently. They urge anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in resolving these unsettling incidents.
