James 'Jimmy' Gracey, a 20-year-old University of Alabama student from Elmhurst, Illinois, has gone missing in Barcelona, Spain, while on Spring Break. His father, Taras Gracey, has made a big move as local police suspect foul play in the case.
Jimmy was last seen around 3am local time at beachfront nightclub Shôko, where authorities reportedly saw him leave with someone. His mother, Therese Marren Gracey, has put out a statement along with the family, saying Jimmy is a kind and responsible son who is out of character for not checking in with family and friends.
Therese, a pediatrician associated with the Endeavor Health group, is working closely with local authorities and is grateful for the support they have received. Taras, a lawyer and founder of his own firm, is already in Spain, and Therese is expected to travel there soon.
The family is asking for anyone who may have seen Jimmy or has information about his disappearance to come forward. Jimmy was seen wearing a white shirt, dark pants, and a chain with a gold rhinestone cross.
