Hans Robert Perrin, 39, disappeared after telling a friend he was going for a hike on an April day in the spring of 2022. He left in his yellow Ford Bronco and took his yellow Labrador. He was described as tall, between 6 feet 3 inches and 6 feet 5 inches, weighing 300 to 330 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and a full beard, wearing logger-style clothing and a flannel shirt.

The day after he was last seen, loggers reported the Bronco abandoned on a gravel logging road in Saxon Valley. Deputies found Hans’ home locked and empty. At the vehicle scene investigators noted a single set of footprints leading away from the truck, the dog nearby, and the Bronco’s keys about three miles downhill near a riverbank.

More than 75 volunteers and multiple agencies mounted an extensive search using drones, K9 teams, 4-by-4 vehicles and ground crews, but no sign of Hans was located. The investigation remains open and the trail has gone cold.

If anyone has information about Hans’ movements that April day or recalls seeing his Bronco or yellow Labrador in the Saxon Valley area, please come forward.
