Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP100727) and 4 other sources
On May 20, 2020, 39-year-old Jason Alan Price, a resident of Eugene, Oregon, disappeared under perplexing circumstances. He had been staying for one night at a Quality Inn in Cottage Grove, but early in the morning, his vehicle was no longer at the hotel. The day took a more troubling turn when his vehicle was discovered crashed and totaled near Rice Hill, approximately 50 miles south of Eugene. Following the crash, unconfirmed, third-hand accounts suggested that Price may have been seen attempting to hitchhike southbound on Interstate 5 from the Rice Hill area. The Eugene Police Department opened an investigation into his disappearance two days later.

Jason is described as a white male, standing at 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing around 180 pounds. He has thick, wavy brown hair and hazel eyes. He commonly wore a goatee and mustache. One of his distinctive physical features is that his left eyebrow is naturally higher than his right. He also has a tattoo on his chest of his mother's initials, 'GPD'. At the time he went missing, he may have been wearing a red long-sleeved shirt from Lane Community College with the words 'Exercise Movement and Science' on it, and he typically wore long pants.

The investigation into Jason Price's disappearance has been ongoing, with his case registered in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, including the Oregon State Police Missing Persons Unit, there have been no significant public updates regarding his whereabouts. The community has been deeply affected by his disappearance, organizing vigils and fundraisers to support the search efforts and his family. The circumstances surrounding his crashed vehicle and the unconfirmed sighting of him hitchhiking create a puzzling timeline of events. The case remains a poignant reminder of the unanswered questions and enduring hope that accompany a missing person investigation.
