MIDDLE RIVER, Md. — Baltimore County Police are again seeking information in the unsolved 2005 homicide of James Myers, whose body was found behind a Walmart in Middle River nearly 20 years ago.

On July 14, 2005, an employee at the Walmart located at 112 Carroll Island Road discovered Myers’ body in a marshy area behind the store. The 44-year-old had been reported missing the day before. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled his death a homicide.

Myers’ broken cell phone was located in the parking lot of a nearby church before his body was found. Investigators determined that he was last seen alive on July 11, 2005, near the same Walmart.

Baltimore County Police shared the update under the hashtag #Justice4JamesMyers and continue to investigate the cold case.
