Phillip Verne Deshayes, 35, disappeared from Yreka, California, on June 2, 1986, which was also his thirty-fifth birthday. He had been living a transient lifestyle and sometimes stayed in local motels. His last confirmed activity was using his debit card in Yreka on the day he was last seen.

On May 8, 1986, Deshayes was arrested by the Yreka Police Department and was transferred to a local mental health facility that same day. Two days after he vanished, on June 4, his wallet was found in Mount Shasta, California. Several reported but unconfirmed sightings in the area were logged through October 1986. He is described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and eyeglasses. The Yreka Police Department is investigating and few details have been released.

If anyone knew Phillip, saw him in the Yreka or Mount Shasta area in 1986, or has information about his movements that spring, please come forward.
