Roland Dean Anderson, known to family as Deannie or Dean, was 30 when he was last seen in Portland, Oregon on December 16, 1983. His relatives reported him missing after he failed to reappear. At the time he was unemployed and, according to reports, there were concerns he used drugs and may have had some involvement in criminal activity.

About three months after his disappearance, Roland’s ex-wife and his mother each received anonymous phone calls in which a woman said Roland had been killed. Those calls were never substantiated, and his body has never been found. The Portland Police Bureau lists the case as unsolved and investigators say people in the community may hold information that could clarify what happened.

What can readers who lived in Portland in late 1983 recall about Roland’s last known movements or the people he associated with?
