Daryn Ray Collie, known to friends as Darraby, was 32 when he was last seen in Guthrie, Oklahoma, on the evening of Sunday, May 26, 2013. After dropping his brother at JobCorps about 9:30 p.m., he said he was heading home to Del City to rest before work. He was driving a distinctive sunburst orange 2007 Dodge Nitro, wearing a t-shirt and jeans, and described as about 6 feet to 6 feet 1 inch and 250 pounds, with brown shoulder-length wavy hair, brown eyes, and glasses.
On June 6, 2013, his Dodge Nitro was found abandoned and out of gas near Mount Hood in Hood River County, Oregon, about 1,800 miles from where he was last seen. The SUV was parked backed up to an embankment near the Zigzag Trailhead, roughly fifteen to twenty feet off Highway 35. Inside were many personal items including his laptop, clothing, passport and the car keys; the front license plate had been removed and placed behind a seat. He had distinctive fingernails filed to points and a titanium claw point set into the acrylic of his left thumbnail. Searches of the area by local authorities and the U.S. Forest Service produced no sign of him. He is listed as an endangered missing person.
Why did Daryn’s car end up in the Mount Hood area with his belongings left inside, and does anyone have information about his movements between Guthrie and Oregon?
