In the winter of 1920, a 44-year-old man named Sigmund Myers, also known as Sig, vanished from Portland, Oregon. The family of the married man believes he disappeared sometime in January of that year, but the exact date remains uncertain. At the time he went missing, he was described as a white male, standing at approximately 5'9" and weighing between 165 and 175 pounds. The details surrounding his disappearance are scarce, with very little information available about the circumstances leading up to the day he was last seen. The case was officially created in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) on August 8, 2014. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office is the investigating agency for this century-old cold case. The passage of time has made gathering information about Sigmund Myers's life and disappearance incredibly challenging. One small glimpse into his life suggests he may have worked as a patrolman. This detail emerged from a 1911 mention in the Oregon Daily Journal, where he was listed as a recipient of a Christmas gift. This sparse piece of information offers a sliver of insight into his potential profession but does little to illuminate the mystery of his disappearance. The era in which he vanished, the early 1920s, was a period of significant historical events, including the aftermath of World War I and the Spanish Flu pandemic, which has led to speculation about potential, but unconfirmed, connections to his case. Over a century has passed since Sigmund Myers was last seen, and his case remains an unsolved mystery in Multnomah County. The lack of concrete details and the sheer amount of time that has elapsed have made this a difficult case to investigate. With no known witnesses to his disappearance and no clear understanding of his activities on the day he went missing, law enforcement and his family have been left with more questions than answers. The case serves as a somber reminder of the many individuals whose stories have been lost to time, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions and the enduring pain of not knowing for their descendants.
