Peter Sean Kosky, known to family as Sean, was 24 when he vanished from a remote cousin’s home in the 15500 block of northwest Orchard View Road, near McMinnville, Oregon, on the evening of September 30, 2012. He was last seen watching a movie on a couch; about an hour later a housemate checked and he was gone. He left behind his wallet, money, cigarettes and the medication he needed for a severe form of epilepsy.

The house sits on a 130-acre nature preserve with no phone or internet service and a single gravel access road. A search of the densely wooded area, which included draining ponds and use of cadaver dogs, turned up no sign of Sean. In April 2015 a hunter found his sandals at the edge of a ravine on adjacent property, less than a mile from where he was last seen; that remains the only physical evidence recovered.

Family accounts note Sean struggled with addiction and felt like a burden after being told he could not live with his cousin; they do not believe he would have taken his own life. The disappearance remains unsolved. If anyone knew Sean, the places he frequented, or saw anything near Orchard View Road on that night, please come forward with information.
