James and Dora Boulter were last seen around 10:30 p.m. Dec. 24 in Plainwell. They had left a friend’s home for their home in Barry County’s Orangeville Township.

Their family contacted sheriff’s deputies the next day when they did not return home. They were last seen driving a yellow Jeep Renegade with a Michigan license plate of 8MBJ29

Couple missing since Christmas Eve after leaving friend’s home

Prayers that hey are found quickly and safe. Hope the mild weather helps them. There's some narrow winding roads out there, tough to navigate at night. MOO

How many miles between destinations?

Going to ball park 25 to 30 mi lots of different routes they could take. Family would know I would think. Not frozen right now, that's a big plus :)

You would think the bright color of the vehicle is a good thing as well. Scary, prayers for the family and friends, I would be out of my mind by now . Barry Co SO is pretty darn good at searches lots of volunteers will show up as well

Hopefully, the bright color of their car will help with their location. I had to take my Dad's car keys away from him when he started having issues with driving. It was so hard for him (although he had a huge support network of friends and family who would take him where he needed to go). His skills went from good to unsafe literally in a matter of a couple of months. Had we not had a family member living with him we would not have known in time to take preventative action. I do hope they are found soon.

This article states they have a credible trip of the couple heading north near Otsego. That doesn’t seem to me to be a route they would take to get home.
Deputies search for couple last seen on Christmas Eve

James and Dora Boulter were spotted heading north on M-37 in Newaygo County. Authorities confirmed it’s a credible lead they are investigating.

Here is a photo of their vehicle:

My friend said about 10 minutes ago that her grandparents have been located. I haven't seen anything official yet. Hopefully soon. The FB page to find them has been updated as well saying found safe.

A Barry County couple missing since Christmas Eve has been found safe, authorities say.

James and Dora Boulter were located in Oceana County, authorities say. Apparently, their Jeep ran out of gas and James Boulter was found walking down the road to get some.

Authorities: Barry County couple found safe
