James “Jimmy” Gracey, a 20-year-old University of Alabama student from Elmhurst, Illinois, is missing in Barcelona, Spain. He was last seen around 3 a.m. on March 17 leaving Shoko nightclub with an unidentified person after a night out with fraternity friends.
Authorities recovered his phone following the arrest of another individual, though it’s unclear if the arrest is connected to his disappearance. Police are now analyzing the device’s location data to track his movements.
Gracey never arrived at the Airbnb where he planned to stay. His father, Taras Gracey, is in Spain working with Catalan police, while the family is also coordinating with the U.S. State Department. Surveillance footage and other investigative leads are being reviewed.
He is 6’1”, weighs about 175 pounds, and was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants, and a gold chain with a rhinestone cross.
