Zachary Porter was 25 when he disappeared after a trip to the Oregon coast. On the morning of July 23, 2013, six days after his birthday, he told family he was driving to North Bend to sell his motorcycle to a buyer he had met online. The buyer later confirmed the sale but says he did not give Zachary a ride home; he was told Zachary expected a friend to pick him up at the Myrtlewood factory. Zachary’s family says he had tried and failed to arrange a ride with several friends before leaving and that no one saw him at the factory.

That same day the family received texts from Zachary’s phone saying the bike was sold and he was returning, but the messages’ style — an unusual number of dot-dot-dots — made them suspicious and they do not believe he sent them. The buyer has been treated as a person of interest, but no suspects have been publicly named. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation, which remains unsolved.

Zachary was a devoted single father and the primary caregiver for his mother and grandmother and is a member of the Native Village of Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government. Does anyone have information about his movements in North Bend on July 23, 2013, or about the friend reportedly expected at the Myrtlewood factory?
