Daniel Berry Neasbitt, 61, was reported missing after he was last seen in the Nehalem area of the Oregon coast on October 2, 2024. A Vancouver, Washington resident, he was living out of a blue Dodge Dakota pickup at the time and made a final phone call to his son on October 3, saying he planned to drive to Seaside, Oregon. His last known purchase was at the Nehalem Food Mart on October 3.
Daniel’s abandoned truck was found on Monday, October 7, 2024, on the side of US‑Highway 101 just north of Rockaway Beach with a flat tire; Daniel was not at the scene. Cell‑phone records show his phone was powered off after the October 3 call and remained inactive until October 7, when it briefly pinged a tower east of Redmond, Washington, then powered off again. Before the last call to his son he had tried to reach several automotive repair shops about the flat tire.
He is described as a white male with blue eyes and brown hair who may have had a gray beard, with tattoos that include an outline of a heart surrounded by foliage on his left bicep and a snake or cobra on his upper right back. The Oregon State Police are asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward.
Did anyone in the Nehalem, Seaside, Rockaway Beach or Redmond areas see Daniel or his blue Dodge Dakota around October 2–7?
