Garren Rudolf Beller, 38 and a resident of Ashland, Oregon, was reported missing after a November 2009 trip to the Midwest. He spent time in Northwest Indiana between November 15 and 19 and was reportedly taken to Chicago’s Union Station on November 19 to board an Amtrak train to Portland, expected November 21. Family and friends never heard from him and his Ashland roommate filed a missing person report with the Ashland Police Department on November 24.

Investigators later learned Beller never boarded the train and his purchased ticket was unused. He was staying at a home in the Lake Eliza area of Northwest Indiana in the days before his planned departure; that house was destroyed by an explosion and fire on November 23, and no one was found inside. Beller, described as a white male, brown hair (shoulder-length at the time), brown or hazel eyes, 5 feet 6 inches, about 160 pounds, has pierced ears and nipples, a half-inch scar on the bridge of his nose, a scorpion tattoo on his right shoulder and another tattoo on his back.

There has been no recorded cell phone or credit card activity since he disappeared, and the case remains suspicious with many unanswered questions. If anyone knew Garren, his travel plans, or his whereabouts in November 2009, please come forward with information.
