Niqola Niqi Cavanaugh-de Calderon, 42, was last seen on the afternoon of February 26, 2022, walking away from his mother’s home near East Lolo Pass Road and East Village Loop in Rhododendron, Oregon. He was a known local yoga and ballet teacher and an avid forager, and at the time he was believed to be wearing yoga clothes. Family and friends reported that he had recently been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm, raising concern that cognitive impairment could put him at greater risk.

Some of Niqi’s personal effects, including his identification and credit cards, were later found abandoned about 40 miles away at the Clackamas Town Center. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office is handling an active missing person investigation and is asking anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the Portland–Mount Hood area see Niqi around late February 2022 or notice someone matching his description at the Clackamas Town Center?
