Howard Ben Dearmon, 50, vanished from Central Point, Oregon, in the winter of 1987. The last known contact was sometime in December of that year. He was described as a Caucasian male, 6 feet 1 inch, about 215 pounds, with receding blond hair, blue eyes, and a mustache. Shortly before he disappeared he sold a 1984 Chevrolet pickup truck; after that sale there was no further word from him.

No one reported him missing until March 19, 1990, when a family member notified the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. The reasons for the lengthy delay in reporting have not been publicly explained. The sheriff’s office continues to list him as a missing person and the case remains open.

If anyone in Central Point or the surrounding area remembers Howard, his pickup, or has information about his whereabouts in late 1987, please share what you know with investigators.
