- Notes
- James is the victim of child abuse, and was isolated in his home for years without the public being aware that he existed. He was never enrolled at school and does not have medical records; it is however believed that he may be autistic. It is not clear when he disappeared although it is believed he had vanished by early 2015. Detectives first investigated the family on suspicions of child neglect of two children but found out after some time that there were actually four children (two of whom were never enrolled in school). Neither parent claims to know where James may be. He was not with the other three children who have been rescued. The only real photos of James are when he was around 5 at the latest -- all others are age-progressed.
