Paul Eugene Housel, 75, was last seen on July 24, 1988, walking away from his Raleigh Hills apartment in Portland, Oregon. He was living with Alzheimer’s disease and also had asthma. From an upstairs window his wife watched him leave; family members searched the immediate area without finding him.

Paul is described as a white male, 5 feet 5 inches, 140–150 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. He wore a lavender or red checked shirt, navy pants or blue slacks, and sneakers. He carried his wallet with ID and about $20 but no credit cards. A tracking dog followed his scent to a nearby Tri-Met bus stop, though his wife doubted he would have known how to board or pay for a bus, and he would have been unlikely to use a phone.

He had wandered off on three previous occasions and been found safe after about eighteen hours, but this disappearance has never been resolved and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office keeps the case open. Does anyone have information about Paul’s movements in July 1988 or remember seeing him that day?
