C. Williams High School Student: Case Study

This is an investigation of a missing person. George Erik James, a previous gang member with East Side Piru, was last seen by his parents the day before Thanksgiving in 1998. From what Mr. and Mrs. James said George left because him and his mom got into an argument. Before we began investigating this case, it seemed like George just left without contacting his family.

That argument could’ve been the last straw for George, therefore, making him storm off without telling his family where he was going.
