Charles Raymond Staley, 38, was last heard from in Medford, Oregon, on February 6, 1999, when he planned to travel to Washington to visit his brother and never arrived. At the time he was living a transient lifestyle and moved between areas frequently, so his absence was not immediately alarming to acquaintances. He was a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, 6 feet 1 inch, about 200 pounds, and commonly sought assistance at the Gospel Mission in Roseburg and spent time in the Douglas County area.

The Medford Police Department is handling the case, but very few details about his last movements have been released. His prolonged silence after that February day is out of character for the family, who continue to have unanswered questions about what happened to him. If anyone knew Charles, saw him in southern Oregon around early February 1999, or has information about his travel toward Washington, please come forward.
