Rebekah Noel Bramel was 26 when she was last seen at her mother’s home in Portland, Oregon, on April 30, 2007. That evening she appeared to be acting strangely and was asked to go home and rest; no one has confirmed seeing her since. In the months before her disappearance, family and friends noticed big changes in her behavior: heavy drinking, mounting debt, sleepless nights and talking about elaborate plans. Her sister and boyfriend thought she might have been suffering from undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

Rebekah was described as a White female, 5 feet 7 inches, 160 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes, several distinctive tattoos and a red mark or scar on her nose and forehead. In early May 2007 the vehicle she had borrowed was found abandoned five miles up an isolated logging road east of Springfield, Oregon.

The vehicle remained in a tow lot for about a month before anyone was notified, delaying searches. Authorities have said they believe she likely died in the area where the car was found, but extensive searches turned up no clues and her case remains classified as endangered missing and unsolved. If anyone knew Rebekah, her routines, or has information about that logging road east of Springfield, please come forward.
