Brandon Perdue was 18 when he disappeared from Medford, Oregon, on the evening of June 13, 2008. He was last seen at home, though some reports place him at a Dairy Queen around 6:30 p.m. that night. His cell phone last pinged a tower near Lake of the Woods at 8:00 p.m., a large mountainous, wooded area between Medford and Klamath Falls, and no further contact was recorded.

Brandon was believed to be driving a red 1998 Honda Civic two-door coupe with silver rims, tinted windows, no spoiler and Oregon plate XVB615; the vehicle has never been found. His clothing that day is reported either as a white T-shirt and blue jeans or alternatively a blue hooded sweatshirt, sweatpants and flip-flops. Family members said he had been emotionally distressed—the day before he told his girlfriend he was thinking about overdosing, and on June 13 he made two phone calls to his parents saying he intended to harm himself and wanted to say goodbye.

Searches of the Lake of the Woods area, including efforts by law enforcement and search and rescue teams, turned up no trace of Brandon or his car. If anyone saw Brandon, the red Civic, or anything unusual around Lake of the Woods on June 13, 2008, contact investigators with any information.
