Eric Ray Brazil, 34, left his Springfield, Oregon home on the evening of March 14, 2022, reportedly agitated and paranoid, and told his girlfriend he planned to travel north on Interstate 5 without naming a destination or a return date. He was assistant manager at the Centennial Park Apartments and was described by friends and his live-in girlfriend as responsible and hardworking, making his abrupt departure out of character.

On March 27, 2022, Eric’s white Honda CRV was found abandoned by hikers on a remote logging road off Goodpasture Road in Vida, Oregon, east of the Eugene–Springfield area. His wallet and cellphone were located near the vehicle. Lane County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue teams, including K9 units, searched the rugged, densely forested area but did not find him. There has been no activity on his credit cards and no contact with family since his disappearance; possible unconfirmed sightings at a Eugene bar that night were reported.

Does anyone who knew Eric or who was in the Vida or Eugene area on March 14–27, 2022 have information that could help locate him?
