On the night of September 8, 1976, 27-year-old Lee Matt Luoma and 20-year-old Gary Duaine Harper disappeared from Port Orford, Oregon. They were last seen shortly after 10:30 p.m.; when Lee vanished he wore a gray and white striped workman’s shirt and blue jeans. Both men left nearly all their personal belongings behind, including their vehicle, and had very little money with them, facts that contradict a voluntary departure.

The Curry County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation that remains active under case file 76-091004. Neither man has made contact with family or friends since that night, and both were later entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The circumstances point to an abrupt and unexplained vanishing rather than a planned disappearance.

Did anyone in Port Orford or the surrounding area have contact with Lee or Gary around September 8, 1976, or recall seeing their vehicle that night?
