Jason Anthony Franks, 21, disappeared from a campsite near Chiloquin, Oregon on August 10, 2001. Friends say they left him alone at the site to go into town and returned to find him gone. He was from Alturas, California and was on a summer outing with acquaintances when he vanished.

At the time he went missing Jason was described as a white male, 6 feet tall, about 165 pounds, with blond hair and hazel eyes. Distinguishing marks included an unfinished outline of a Demon tattoo on his upper right arm, a cross with black dots on his hand, scars on his nose and a previously fractured left arm. He was known to wear a heavy gold chain necklace and had a medical condition noted by investigators.

The investigation is being handled by the Alturas Police Department and the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office and remains open. Progress has been hindered by limited details and what authorities described as a lack of cooperation from some people connected to the case. If anyone was at the Chiloquin-area campsite on August 10, 2001, or has information about Jason’s whereabouts, please come forward.
