WISCONSIN (CIVIC MEDIA) – It has been over two years since James Yoblonski vanished, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is asking for the public’s help to bring him home. Today, James turns 16 years old, and instead of a joyful celebration, it marks another heartbreaking milestone for his family.

James was only 13 years old when he went missing from his home in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, on June 12, 2023. When he was last seen, James was described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds. He has green eyes and light brown hair. 

James’ father, William Yoblonski, shared that he has never stopped searching and wants nothing more than to be reunited with his son. He hopes that this message will reach James:

Today is your birthday, and we all love and miss you so much. I want you to know that your family has not forgotten about you, and we are spending the day together to remember your special day. My life is not complete without you, and I need you to come home.

Authorities believe James may still be in the local or surrounding areas.

If you have any information about James or his disappearance, please contact NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office (Wisconsin) at 1-608-356-4895.

Caution: If located, do not approach and immediately contact law enforcement.
