James Lacy Kendrick was 62 years old when he was last known to be in contact on August 2, 2024, in Vinita Park, Missouri. He is listed as a Black male, 6 feet tall and approximately 165 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Publicly available missing-person records identify him as a missing adult and place the beginning of the case at that date and location, with the Missouri State Highway Patrol Missing Persons Clearinghouse bulletin recording his “Date of Last Contact” as 8/2/2024 and
“Missing From” as Vinita Park, Missouri.
The available public record is brief, but the absence it describes is deeply consequential: after that last contact in Vinita Park, Kendrick was reported as having not been heard from again. The Charley Project’s case summary repeats the same central facts and notes that few details are publicly available, leaving the public with only the essential identifying information, the last-seen location, and the investigating agency to guide awareness. In cases like this, limited public detail can make the search feel especially difficult for family, friends, and community members, because the public record does not describe where he was going, who he may have been with, what he was wearing, or what circumstances may have surrounded his disappearance.
Kendrick’s case is being handled through the North County Police Cooperative, which is listed as the investigating agency, with a public contact number of 314-428-7374. The Missouri State Highway Patrol Missing Persons Clearinghouse also lists its contact information, including 573-526-6178 and for information connected to missing-person matters. The public bulletin asks anyone with information about James Kendrick’s whereabouts to contact the North County Police Cooperative, underscoring that even a small detail could matter when so little has been made public.
As it stands in the available online records, James Lacy Kendrick’s disappearance is a sparsely documented but serious missing adult case: a 62-year-old man last seen in Vinita Park, Missouri, on August 2, 2024, described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes, 6 feet tall and weighing about 165 pounds, who has not been publicly reported as heard from since. The case file offers no public narrative of travel plans, conflict, medical concerns, or confirmed sightings after that date, leaving the overview of the case focused on the facts that are known: Kendrick vanished from Vinita Park, his whereabouts remain the central question in the public record, and the North County Police Cooperative remains the point of contact for anyone who may know what happened or where he may be.Last Seen: Aug 2, 2024
