STILL MISSING: Where the search for Jim Price stands after 12 days

Today is the 12th day since 86-year-old Jim Price was last seen leaving his home on Pigeon Point in northeast West Seattle the evening of Monday, September 18th. So many have searched and/or on the lookout for him, but his disappearance remains a mystery. We asked Jim’s family what people can do to help now. A family spokesperson replied, “We’ve put together a kit with a new flyer that includes a QR code that links back to the kit, the search map that we will continue updating, and a info sheet with the latest updates and search tips.” You’ll find the newest version of those linked and downloadable here. The “latest info” document linked there also lists “unconfirmed sightings” as well as answering questions about where they’ve searched/checked, beyond the map. Otherwise, they simply ask that people continue “searching independently.” A family friend also has created a website, jimpriceismissing.com, which includes an email address for tips, as does the “latest info” doc (though it must be stressed, if you think you see him, please call 911 *at that moment* or as soon as you can – don’t wait to tell someone later).

    Thank you for this information. Especially the linked documents. I had a lot of questions on what had been checked/monitored (orca card, debit/credit card, checking old addresses of residence, etc), and found that form really helpful as far as what has been done and what is currently being done.  Praying for strength for Jim and for everyone desperately trying to find him. I will continue to watch for him.

    This is terrible! Has King County Search and Rescue been involved at all?

      KC Sheriff did a fly over this weekend for a suspected citing. That much I know.

    Maybe try a psychic to help locate Jim.  John Edwards is a renowned psychic medium who is amazing.

    A Metro bus driver could have given Jim a free courtesy ride (maybe Jim was struggling to find his Orca card) and dropped him off in downtown Seattle, and a shelter took him in.

      I work at a salvation army shelter in sodo we have flyers here. Id assume the other area shelters are on alert as well.

    I and several others spent several hours last weekend tracing Jim’s possible steps around Pigeon Point and surrounding areas and came up empty. I just wonder if he might not have ended up really close to his home, having not gone too far? 🤷‍♂️ Hoping he is found soon!

    Does the Senior Center security footage show Jim there that evening?  Wondering if he could had ventured over to Lincoln Park or even over to Alki Beach from the Senior Center?

    There is the possibility that he was seen by one of our unhoused population, someone from a homeless encampment.  They might be reticent to come forward with info.  Lets not leave any stone unturned.

    Thanks for providing the link to the map. Their web site’s link says the map is in the owner’s trash. So it’s not accessible via their site.

      Hello, Thank you for letting us know about the broken link.  You can always access the map & other docs by clicking on the “Google Drive Resources” button at https://jimpriceismissing.com/

    Just noticed the flier at California Ave x Charlestown isn’t on lightpole any longer. Praying you are found tonight, Mr. Price.

  • PJJ October 3, 2023 (2:58 pm)

    Please check garages and outbuildings.  Possible he ducked in to get out of the weather?

  • TMorgan October 4, 2023 (5:46 am)

    Please also look for a bearded Mr. Price now… thanks… still looking.

    Are there any updates that can be shared?

    • WSB October 13, 2023 (9:26 am)

      I asked police yesterday (after hearing what turned out to be an unfounded rumor), they had nothing new, and I’m waiting to hear back from a family liaison, to whom I sent an inquiry two days ago … TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
