Chayston ’Chase’ Eugene Robertson, 25, was last heard from on April 29, 2020; his family reported him missing on May 2 when he failed to make contact as he normally did. On May 4 his vehicle was found abandoned about eleven miles up Quartz Creek Road in the McKenzie River basin near Vida. His cell phone and other personal items were inside the car, but Robertson was not found.

Searches in the rugged, densely forested area around Quartz Creek Road included ground teams, K9 units and air support from the Oregon Army National Guard. Despite exhaustive efforts, searchers turned up no clues indicating which direction he might have gone. The terrain, which Robertson was reportedly familiar with, produced no answers and the intensive search was eventually scaled back.

The investigation remains open and Robertson’s disappearance is unresolved. If anyone has information about his whereabouts or that last week in late April and early May 2020, please share what is known with the authorities.
