Joanna Gertrude Meyer, 49, was reported last seen on April 4, 2019, in Myrtle Creek, Oregon, floating down the South Umpqua River. Witnesses placed her below a trestle and moving into a stretch of the river described as swift and turbulent. She was reportedly wearing jeans and a grey wool poncho with black dots.

Local authorities launched an extensive search with both boat and ground crews covering the river and banks where she was last seen, but search teams were unable to find any trace of her. She was entered into the Law Enforcement Data System as a missing person and the Myrtle Creek Police Department is handling the investigation.

The circumstances—last seen in dangerous rapids and not located despite a thorough search—leave critical questions about what happened after she was observed. Did anyone see her before she reached the trestle or know why she was on the river that day? If there is any information about Joanna’s movements that morning, contact the Myrtle Creek Police Department.
