Patrick Warren Mahurin, 43, vanished from Cave Junction, Oregon, on the evening of May 14, 2006. He was last seen about 5:00 p.m. leaving his residence near Highway 199 on a red FS-Elite Convertible Cruiser bicycle with a wire basket. Friends called him Thatcher; he had moved to Cave Junction about two months earlier from Ashland.
Reports say Patrick left after an argument and took a bottle of sleeping pills and a bottle of scotch. He had a medical condition requiring medication, and family described his disappearance as highly uncharacteristic. He is white, 5 feet 7 inches, about 140 pounds, with auburn curly hair and blue eyes. Distinctive tattoos include tribal black flames around his left nipple, a rose on his right shoulder, and a keyboard on his left wrist; he has piercings in his left ear and left nipple.
At the time he was wearing a dark green long-sleeved shirt with white piping, jeans, a black leather jacket with metal trim, and athletic shoes, and may have had small round-frame reading glasses or sunglasses. His bicycle remains missing, a loaf of bread was left on his kitchen counter, and he has not collected government assistance checks since he disappeared. His whereabouts are still unknown.
Did anyone in Cave Junction or nearby see Patrick or his red cruiser after May 14, 2006?
