Timothy Finnegan Hays, 52, was last in contact with anyone in Des Moines, Washington, in the spring of 2018. Long estranged from his family for about two decades, Timothy’s life had been largely off the grid and updates were infrequent, so the exact date of his disappearance is uncertain.

Relatives believe he lived in the Murphy, Oregon, area at some point, but his last definite contact was in Washington. Because of the prolonged estrangement, the family did not report him missing until August 30, 2023, when a report was filed with the Ashland Police Department in Oregon. The delay and the geographic uncertainty have complicated the investigation, and no confirmed sightings or new leads have been reported.

Does anyone have information about Timothy’s movements in spring 2018 or possible sightings near Murphy, Oregon, or Des Moines, Washington?
