Caleb Josiah Howard, 32, was last in contact on August 31, 2017, while in Welches, Oregon. He is described as six feet three inches tall, about 195 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes; he had a previously broken left ankle repaired with pins and screws. His vehicle was later found abandoned in the Mt. Hood National Forest, which prompted a multi-day search and rescue operation.

Search teams combed rugged, densely forested terrain but were unable to locate Caleb. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation filed as case number 17-23751 and classifies him as an endangered missing person. The active search was eventually scaled back with no new leads reported, leaving his family and community without answers.

What information might help move this case forward for the Sheriff’s Office or the family?
