Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP38390)
James Hamilton Myre, a 30-year-old man, was last seen on January 1, 1983, in Dallas, Texas. Myre's case remains unsolved, and his disappearance has garnered limited public attention over the years. He was described as having a unique physical characteristic—a fully developed leg and a thinner one that caused him to swing his leg outward when he walked. He also had a distinctive tattoo on his right shoulder of a martini glass with a syringe inside, along with the words "Vaya con Dios" (Go with God).

At the time of his disappearance, Myre had a history of personal challenges, including past struggles with substance abuse. His family, particularly his sister, has continued to seek answers, but no significant leads have emerged over the years. Foul play has not been ruled out, but the details surrounding his case remain scarce. Law enforcement encourages anyone with information to come forward as the investigation is still open.
Last Seen: Jan 1, 1983
