Philip Douglas Harris, a 49-year-old chef, vanished from the Hazel Dell area of Vancouver, Washington, with the last confirmed sighting on April 20, 2023. His ex-wife last had contact with him on April 15. His green 2016 Kia Soul was found parked in the Safeway lot at Hazel Dell Marketplace; surveillance shows it being parked about 8 p.m. on April 21, 2023. Store staff first noticed the car on May 9, and it was not reported and towed until May 30.

Many of Philip’s personal items were inside the vehicle: chef’s knives, clothing, a laptop, an Apple Watch, medication, and photos of his children. His keys and phone were missing. Family members organized searches and distributed flyers, including in areas with homeless encampments, though his ex-wife doubts he would have ended up in that situation. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office is investigating, reviewing social media, phone records, and other accounts, and has contacted recovery and housing organizations. Philip is described as white, 5 feet 7 inches, 145 to 155 pounds, with blue eyes, short brown hair, full sleeve tattoos on both arms, a large semicolon on his left hand, and pierced ears.

Does anyone who knew Philip or saw him in Hazel Dell around mid to late April 2023 have information to share?
