Beza Getachew Tadesse was 26 when he last contacted his family from Seattle on July 24, 2006, then disappeared. He is described as a Black man, 68 inches tall, about 180 pounds, with black balding hair, brown eyes and one eye slightly smaller than the other. Family members say he had grown increasingly distant beginning around 2004, and by the summer of 2006 all communication had stopped.

Tadesse led a transient life before he vanished, having lived in Seattle, Atlanta and spending time in Las Vegas, and reportedly traveled frequently between Washington and the East Coast. Investigators developed information that he may have crossed into Canada in 2006. The King County Sheriff’s Office is handling the open investigation.

If anyone knew Beza, saw him after July 24, 2006, or has information about his travels between Washington, the East Coast or into Canada, please come forward.
