James, 13, has been missing since June 13, 2023 when he left the family home in Reedsburg, Wisconsin at around 1 AM with two duffle bags, commandeering the family van and driving off into the night. He stole his father Bill Yoblonski’s cell phone and took it with him, and his departure was captured by the family’s surveillance video. The family van was found on the side of Highway 12 by Devil’s Lake State Park, and James’s belongings and Bill’s cell phone were discovered at a nearby campsite in the woods. Despite extensive searches of over five thousand acres of land with 100 officers and 10 k9s, there has been no sign of James. Investigators traced James’s movements and learned James stopped at his father’s business in Wisconsin Dells twice before abandoning the car. Police are uncertain what he was doing at his father’s workplace but believe he may have taken his father’s handgun. James did not originally qualify for an Amber Alert, and police aren’t convinced of foul play, but James’s father Bill believes James was abducted and has placed him on the NCMEC list.
Reward: 10,000 – by the father Bill Yablonski
