Charles Lee Keller, 45, known as Charlie or Chuck, was last seen at a Safeway in The Dalles, Oregon, on November 10, 2021. A father and a plumber who lived in Wasco County, Keller did not show up for a scheduled court date on November 15, 2021 that was meant to resolve a dispute with a tenant who had stopped paying rent and refused to vacate a fifth-wheel trailer on Keller’s Mosier property. His family says missing that appointment was highly uncharacteristic.

Days after Keller vanished, a man named Shawn Marsalis was found occupying Keller’s Mosier home, barricaded inside and having ransacked the place. Marsalis was later convicted of burglary and theft and sentenced to 34 months in prison; authorities recovered some of Keller’s belongings in his possession. Investigators searched Keller’s property and used cadaver dogs, but the only clear trace was Keller’s truck left behind. His personal cell phone turned up with an acquaintance, while his keys and work phone were never recovered. The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and requests public assistance.

Did anyone in the area see Charles around The Dalles or Mosier in early November 2021, or have information about the tenant dispute or items taken from his home?
