Richard Milton Long, 57, of Days Creek, Oregon, was last heard from in a phone conversation with his sister on December 18, 2001. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 175 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. A week after that call a suicide note was found at his home; there has been no contact with Long since.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office classifies the case as Lost/Injured Missing and opened an investigation. Beyond the note and the last conversation, little evidence has emerged and no significant leads have been reported. His whereabouts remain unknown and the case is still open.

Does anyone in the Days Creek area remember Richard or have information about his movements around December 2001?
