Jerome Clements Charles was 26 when he left his family home on West 3rd Street in Eugene, Oregon, for a short walk on June 2, 1984, and never returned. A Native American man with black hair and brown eyes, he was last seen wearing a tan and blue shirt with tan pants and was described as 5 feet 10 inches and about 160 pounds. Distinguishing marks included a tattoo on his upper right arm and multiple scars on his forehead, left arm, upper right arm, right hand, and near his right eye.

At the time he vanished Jerome was on parole, having been released from the Oregon State Penitentiary seventeen months earlier after serving one year of a four-year sentence for theft. His family’s extensive criminal history has been noted in reports and has contributed to competing theories about his disappearance; his father at one point suspected police involvement, a claim that was never formally reported. Investigators have said they believe Jerome is likely deceased, but no suspects have been named and the case remains unsolved and open with the Eugene Police Department.

Does anyone in Eugene remember Jerome or have information about his movements in June 1984?
