James Latham

MANSFIELD — Nearly a month has passed since a township man went missing, and police are hoping a $10,000 reward will help produce information that helps them solve the disappearance.

James Latham, 49, was last seen at 5 a.m. April 8 when his daughter dropped him off at his home on Sheffield Drive, Detective Daniel Ehnstrom said. Latham is believed to have left the residence on foot a short time later, Ehnstrom said.

Since that morning, family members and friends have not seen or heard from Latham. His employers at the Sunoco refinery in Philadelphia also have had not contact with him.

Ehnstrom said police have canvassed the township several times but have failed to locate the missing man or clues to his whereabouts.

“We’ve done just about everything we can think of,” Ehnstrom said.

Family members told investigators that Latham suffered from severe depression and had disappeared for short periods of time before, Ehnstrom said. However, he always returned home about a day later, the detective said.

Ehnstrom said foul play is not suspected but has not been ruled out.

Latham was last seen wearing blue jeans, a green shirt and a dark blue denim jacket. He wears eye glasses.

Ehnstrom asked anyone with information about Latham’s disappearance or whereabouts to call police at (609) 298-4411 or the Sunoco Crime Spotter hot line at (800)-786-2746.
