John Wayne Thorne, 41, was last heard from on or around May 10, 2023, in Lincoln City, Oregon. Friends and family describe him as kind-hearted and outdoorsy; he had been struggling with addiction before he disappeared. His family reported him missing and the Lincoln City Police Department opened an investigation under case number LCP23001918.

Investigators interviewed people who knew him and reviewed his recent activities but few solid leads emerged and the case grew cold. Neighbors and volunteers organized searches and distributed flyers, and organizations that assist with missing persons continue to circulate his information. The Lincoln City Police Department asks anyone with information to come forward.
