Sheriff’s detectives are continuing their search for information related to the disappearance of James Edward Jackson, who has now been missing for more than a year.
Jackson was officially reported missing on February 11, 2025, when patrol deputies took an initial report. Investigators later determined that Jackson was last seen in the Tioga area around November 1, 2024, and has not been seen or heard from since.
James Edward Jackson is described as a white male, 43 years old, standing approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, with a slim build and a full beard.
Despite ongoing investigative efforts, Jackson’s whereabouts remain unknown. Detectives say the passage of time has elevated the case to a cold investigation, though authorities continue to actively pursue new leads and encourage the public to come forward with any information.
Anyone with information regarding the location or circumstances surrounding the disappearance of James Edward Jackson is urged to contact Detective Matt Dauzat with the Criminal Investigations Division at the Tioga Substation at 318-641-6005, or the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office Main Office at 318-473-6700.
