Mitchell ’Mitch’ Edward Young was 27 when he disappeared after leaving his Springfield, Oregon home on April 5, 2005. He told people he planned to take the bus to nearby Eugene to deliver paperwork, dressed in blue jeans, a black coat with white stripes, and black shoes. He has not been seen or heard from since that short trip began.

Young is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, 185 to 200 pounds, with brown, collar-length straight hair, green eyes and an eight-inch vertical scar on his abdomen. The Springfield Police Department and the Lane County Sheriff’s Office handled the investigation, but the trail went cold almost immediately and there are very few public leads or details about his movements after he left.

The disappearance is notable for its ordinary context—a short bus trip for paperwork—and the abrupt, unexplained end to Mitchell’s known movements. Does anyone remember seeing Mitchell in Springfield or on a bus to Eugene around April 5, 2005, or have information that might help explain what happened to him?
