Paul Edward Buckley, 45 or 46, disappeared after leaving Spokane, Washington, in the spring of 1997. Family members recall last seeing him around Easter 1997; official records list his last contact as November 4, 1998. At the time he was six feet tall, about 185 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

A Whitworth University graduate, Buckley had roofing experience and drove large trucks. He traveled between Spokane and Highwood, Montana, and family say he boarded a Greyhound in Spokane headed to an unknown destination. He had promised a daughter he would return for a family reunion in Cozad, Nebraska but did not appear and all contact stopped.

The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office manages the case. Few concrete leads have been reported and questions remain about the timeline and where he intended to go. If anyone knew Paul’s movements in 1997 or has information about his travel between Washington, Montana, and Nebraska, please share what you know.
