Stephen Douglas Litsey, 71, went missing during a hunting trip in the Twin Lakes area near Diamond Lake, Oregon. On October 29, 2011 he and his hunting partner separated with plans to regroup later; when Stephen did not return the next day his partner reported him missing to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. He was wearing camouflage and had been carrying a hunting rifle, but his backpack, rifle, cell phone, and GPS were not found.

Search and rescue teams from Oregon and California scoured the rugged terrain and found some candy wrappers and water bottles that could not be linked to Stephen. A heavy snowstorm a few days after his disappearance likely obscured tracks and other evidence, and the official search was suspended as conditions grew hazardous. The case remained open but inactive, and Stephen was declared legally dead in 2013.

Did anyone who hunted or traveled in the Twin Lakes area around late October 2011 notice anything unusual or see Stephen that day?
