James Abel PryorFor almost a decade, nobody has heard from James Pryor.
The redheaded 25-year-old had been in trouble with the law off and on, but circumstances of his disappearance led law enforcement to consider him a missing person rather than a fugitive.
According to missing persons websites like missingsippi.org, Pryor’s last known contact with family and loved ones was at a family gathering on Trace Road in northern Jones County in April 2015. Charleyproject.org said his family reported him missing in September, five months later.
Roughly a month later, one of Pryor’s father’s employees was hunting on Pryor family land and saw what looked like a truck hood under some vegetation. He soon discovered it was Pryor’s truck.
After he hadn’t been heard from in almost five years, a Jones County circuit judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest in 2020, and the Jones County Sheriff’s Department employed some new technology to look into his disappearance in 2023. Still, no sign of James Pryor.
