The Unsolved Disappearance Of James Yoblonski



13 year old James Yoblonski went missing from his Reedsburg, Wisconsin home on June 12, 2023. He left in his family’s vehicle, and hasn’t been heard from since.

DISAPPEARANCE

Early in the morning on June 12, 2023, James Yoblonski, then 13, took his dad’s cell phone and left his home in Reedsburg.

The teen walked across the street to where the family van was parked around midnight, as seen on security footage. In about an hour, he drove off.

At 7:30 am on June 12, 2023, James’ father contacted the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office to report him missing.

INVESTIGATION

The van James left behind was found parked on the westbound lane of Highway 12 near Baraboo Bluffs at 4:45 a.m. on June 12, 2023. This was a couple of miles from the westernmost part of Devil’s Lake State Park.

His cell phone was found 200 yards away from the van, across the highway in the eastbound lanes.

In the nearby woods, James’s makeshift camp was found. Several changes of clothes, as well as a phone charger and pillow were found at the campsite.

Multiple law enforcement agencies and K9 units have searched the area extensively, but no new clues about where James is have been found.

James’ father states that a han*dgun was missing from their home, but it has not been determined for certain that James is in possession of the weapon.

Searches of electric devices believed to have been used by James show two searches in early 2023 regarding how to travel out of state and being a minor on a plane.

A Yoblonski family member owns one of the devices, and James got the other one from the Baraboo School District. A number of searches were also done in a number of different places in the state of Wisconsin.

The areas were searched again by the police, but they found no proof that James had ever been there after he went missing.

State of police James really wanted to learn how to become a survivalist. WiscNews was told by Sauk County Sheriff Lt. Steve Schram that James left home with two survival guides.

In August 2023, the FBI gave James’ father a polygraph test to find out what happened to his son. He passed.

WHEREABOUTS

The location of James Yoblonski remains unknown. His case is currently classified as endangered missing and remains unsolved.

James’ father is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to his location.

**Title: The Unsolved Disappearance of James Yoblonski**

In a small, close-knit town, James Yoblonski was a familiar face—a high school teacher known for his kindness and dedication. One autumn evening, he vanished without a trace, leaving his car parked at the edge of a local park and his home untouched. The police conducted an extensive search, interviewing townsfolk and scouring the area, but no clues emerged.

Months turned into years, and the case grew cold. Some speculated that James had left voluntarily, seeking a fresh start, while others whispered of foul play. His disappearance left a void in the community and a lingering sense of unease.

One day, a young journalist named Ella, intrigued by the case, decided to dig deeper. She discovered an old journal in the attic of James's house, filled with cryptic notes and sketches of strange symbols. Ella's investigation led her to a forgotten local legend about a hidden treasure and a secret society rumored to be active in the town decades ago.

As she pieced together the clues from the journal and historical records, Ella uncovered a hidden chamber beneath the town's old library. Inside, she found evidence suggesting that James had stumbled upon something significant—perhaps a secret that someone wanted to keep buried.

Ella's findings reignited interest in the case, and although she didn't solve the mystery completely, she brought new attention to it, renewing hope that James Yoblonski's fate might one day be revealed. The town remained vigilant, and the legend of James Yoblonski became a reminder of the hidden stories lurking in every community.
