On a spring morning in Seattle, Washington, 87-year-old James Lee Meyers was last seen at a local restaurant he often frequented on April 9, 2002. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as being in poor health with memory issues, possibly related to dementia. This has led to concerns that he may have become disoriented or confused. Meyers, a white male, stood between 5'7" and 5'10" and weighed between 140 and 150 pounds. He had gray or partially gray hair and hazel eyes, and he wore glasses. One of his distinguishing features was his very narrow feet. Adding to the mystery of his disappearance is the fact that his vehicle, a red 2001 Chrysler 300 sedan, also vanished and has not been recovered. The car was known to have at least one broken side mirror, and Meyers was reportedly a poor driver. The combination of his health condition and the missing vehicle has deepened the concern for his welfare and has been a central focus of the investigation from the beginning. Despite extensive searches, which included aerial surveillance, no trace of Meyers or his car has ever been found. The disappearance of James Lee Meyers remains an unsolved case, a lingering question for his family and the Seattle community. The Seattle Police Department has been handling the investigation since he was reported missing on April 14, 2002. Over the years, efforts to locate him or uncover what happened have been fruitless. The lack of any significant leads has left his case cold, one of many long-unsolved missing person cases in the Seattle area. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance, his vulnerable state due to his health, and the complete absence of both him and his vehicle continue to be a painful and unresolved mystery.
