I could be misinterpreting things but there may be a connection b/w James and Arden's disappearances.

If James was last seen March 28, 2021 and Arden went missing April 22, 2021. How can it be related?

Is he related to little aden??

 

[Beans]

If you dig a little there’s also mentions of asking for help to find him on 16th April, by people in Browning. How bizarre.

 

[YaYa_521]

To be clear, I don't know if their MP cases are related. I do think they are related. I'm baffled by the length of time b/w the date of James' disappearance and his reported missing date, which is only 5 days after Arden disappeared.

They may not be related. But it appears he was last seen on March 28, 2021 at his residence in North Carolina, but has family in Montana where Arden is from.

Apparently James' disappearance was not related to Arden's. Although identification is pending, it appears LE has located human remains @ a camp site near James' home. This will be a very difficult time for his family.

Rest peacefully, James.
