Jesus Vazquez Silva, 23, was last seen in Terrebonne, Deschutes County, Oregon, on October 26, 1997. He is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing roughly 150 to 160 pounds, with tattoos on his legs.

Very little is publicly known about the circumstances of his disappearance. The primary theory in the file is that he may have returned to his native Uruapan, Mexico, which would suggest a voluntary departure, but there is no public confirmation that he arrived there or of his wellbeing. The case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on November 14, 2014, and remains an open investigation with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

If anyone knew Jesus, remembers his last days in Terrebonne, or has information about a possible travel to Uruapan, please contact the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.
