Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP85040) and 8 other sources
James Kevin Bradshaw was a 41-year-old man from Rome, Georgia, at the time he went missing. On September 10, 2021, a family member gave him a ride to a location in the South Rome area. This was the last time he was seen or heard from by his loved ones. Following this last contact, all communication from James ceased, leaving his family with growing concern and a profound sense of uncertainty. His sudden and unexplained disappearance prompted his family to report him missing to the authorities later that month, officially beginning the investigation into his whereabouts.

At the time he vanished, James was described as a white male, standing at 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing him are several tattoos, including the initials 'JKB' on his right arm and a tattoo of a heart on his back shoulder blade area that incorporates the names of three girls. The lack of information regarding the clothing he was wearing or any personal belongings he may have had with him at the time has added to the difficulty of the search. No details have been publicly released about the specific location in South Rome where he was dropped off, or any individuals he may have been planning to meet.

The Rome Police Department is handling the investigation into James Kevin Bradshaw's disappearance. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, and the circumstances surrounding his vanishing are still unclear. The absence of any contact or new leads has left his family in a state of perpetual worry, holding out hope for answers. The investigation continues to seek any information that might shed light on what happened to James after he was last seen that day in September 2021, a day that started like any other but ended with a loved one inexplicably gone. The overview of the case is one of a sudden disappearance with very few initial leads, leaving both family and investigators searching for any clue that could lead to his discovery.
