Phillip W. Bakeman, 52, was last seen January 1, 1995, at his family’s ranch in the Glide area of Douglas County, Oregon. That day he had a verbal argument at his brother-in-law’s house and left; no one actually saw him leave his own ranch. He was carrying a small revolver and was reportedly wearing a maroon or brown down jacket, a gray flannel shirt, jeans, and brown sneakers or boots.

Bakeman is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches, 150 pounds, with graying brown curly hair, a mustache, and brown eyes. He had an appendectomy scar and several tattoos, including a peacock, an eagle, and a sailor girl on his shoulders and forearms. A bloodhound followed his scent to the main road near the home but lost the trail near the river.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office lists the case under agency number 95-0025 and the investigation remains open and unsolved. If anyone knew Phillip, saw him around Glide on or after January 1, 1995, or has information about the scent trail toward the river, please come forward.
