Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP145882)
James Gleen Barlow, a 35-year-old male, was last seen on May 1, 2024, in Los Angeles, California. His case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System as a missing person case, reflecting that his whereabouts were unknown and that there was enough concern to formally document his disappearance through a national missing persons reporting system.
The publicly available information about his case is limited, but the basic record identified him by name, age, gender, last known date, and last known location, placing the beginning of the case in Los Angeles during the spring of 2024.
The circumstances surrounding James’s disappearance were not described in detail in available public records. No widely available online law enforcement bulletin or public notice was found that explained where in Los Angeles he was last known to be, what he may have been wearing, whether he was traveling on foot or by vehicle, or whether there were any medical, behavioral, or situational concerns connected to the missing person report. Because those details were not publicly available, the known account of the case remained centered on the fact that James was reported missing from Los Angeles and that his case was documented for public and investigative awareness.
The investigating agency has reported that James Barlow was found alive, meaning this is no longer an active missing persons case. The exact date and circumstances of his recovery were not clearly available in public online information, so no specific recovery date can be stated. What can be said with care is that the case began as a missing person report involving a 35-year-old man last seen in Los Angeles on May 1, 2024, and later ended with the welcome news that he had been located alive. Overall, James’s case appears to have been one of limited public detail, but its resolution brought the most important outcome families and communities hope for in a missing person investigation: he was found alive.Last Seen: May 1, 2024
