In the coastal community of Lincoln City, Oregon, 41-year-old John Wayne Thorne was last heard from on or around May 10, 2023. Known by friends and family as a kind-hearted person with a love for the outdoors, his disappearance has cast a somber shadow over the town. Leading up to his disappearance, Thorne had been facing personal struggles with addiction. The specific details of his last known moments remain unclear, adding to the distress of his loved ones and the community. Following his family's report of his disappearance to the Lincoln City Police Department, an official investigation was launched under case number LCP23001918. Despite law enforcement's efforts to interview those close to Thorne and analyze his recent activities, the investigation yielded few substantial leads, and the case quickly went cold. In response to the lack of progress, the Lincoln City community mobilized, with neighbors, friends, and concerned citizens organizing search parties and distributing flyers in the hope of finding any information that might lead to his whereabouts. Despite the passage of time, the search for John Thorne continues. His case remains open, and organizations dedicated to finding missing persons continue to circulate his information. The Lincoln City Police Department is still asking for anyone with information to come forward. The unresolved nature of his disappearance is a painful reminder of the fragility of life and has left a lasting impact on the Lincoln City community, which continues to hope for a resolution that will bring closure to his family and friends.
