Pablo Murillo Alcaraz, 21, vanished on May 3, 2012 after slipping from the bank of the Rogue River near Union Creek, Oregon. Family members witnessed him remove his shirt and shoes, lose footing on smooth, wet rocks, and fall into the swollen, fast-moving river. They saw his head briefly above the surface before he was carried over a steep, twelve-foot waterfall and out of sight.

The stretch below the falls is described as extremely hazardous, with deep undercuts, strong swirling eddies, large submerged rocks and other hidden dangers. Visibility in the turbulent water was almost zero. Jackson County Search and Rescue conducted an extensive search of both banks for roughly seven miles downstream but found no trace of Pablo.

If anyone was in the Union Creek area that day or has information about Pablo’s last known movements, please share what was seen or heard.
