Greg Alan Russell, 68, was last seen at his North Bend, Oregon, home on August 1, 2024. He told his wife he might travel to Reno and left wearing jeans, a black T-shirt, and tennis shoes, driving a gold or silver 2005 Chevrolet Silverado with Oregon plate CA46775. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 210 to 220 pounds, with graying hair and blue eyes.

Investigators learned Russell visited a casino in the North Bend area after leaving home, but his route later took him south into Trinity County, California, where he had contact with several acquaintances who did not know he was missing. His truck was found abandoned on August 13, 2024, on a logging road in the Deerlick Springs area of Trinity County with no sign of him nearby. Initial searches by the Trinity County Sheriff’s Office did not locate him; on August 14 multiagency search and rescue teams from Trinity, Humboldt, Butte, and Shasta counties and the California Highway Patrol began extensive operations.

Authorities say Russell has shown some peculiar behaviors in the past, and they believe he may have wandered into the woods from his vehicle. The investigation remains active as officers try to reconstruct his movements and locate him.

If anyone in North Bend, Trinity County, or along possible routes to Reno saw Greg, his truck, or has information about his contacts after August 1, please come forward.
