Some people literally disappear one day without a trace. James Kos, of Monroeville, is one of those people.

Kos was 42 years old the day that he left his place of work in Monroeville—April 22, 2000. It was the last time that he was seen.

Kos is described by police as white; 5 feet 7 inches tall; about 132 pounds; with blond hair, hazel eyes, medium complexion and wearing glasses.

Not much else is known, and there has been little publicity about his disappearance. Even information on missing persons websites is limited.

Anyone with information regarding Kos' whereabouts is asked to call the Monroeville Police Department at 412-576-3387.
