Melinda Leigh Dehart was 49 when she was last seen in Tillamook County, Oregon, with contact ending on October 5, 2013. She is described as 5 feet 10 inches, about 125 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and wearing wire-framed oval glasses. Melinda lived a primarily transient lifestyle and spent time in Portland as well as traveling around the country, which complicates efforts to trace her movements after that October day.

No official report was filed for a decade; a missing person report was submitted to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office on October 23, 2023, and her case was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on November 2, 2023. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is handling the investigation, and the circumstances of her disappearance from a coastal county remain unresolved.

If anyone saw Melinda in Tillamook County or remembers contacts, locations, or travel around October 2013, please share what is known.
