Ian Spalding, 17, disappeared from Cape Arago State Park near Charleston, Oregon, on May 31, 2020. According to reports, he was walking with friends along a path by the cliffs when he slipped and fell from a cliff edge into the Pacific Ocean below.

A large search and rescue operation followed. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office led the response, with U.S. Coast Guard air and sea units, Charleston Fire Department crews, and Oregon State Police personnel searching from land, sea, and air. Despite extensive efforts in difficult conditions, search teams were unable to locate him and the search was eventually suspended.

The incident is recorded as an accidental fall from a cliff into the ocean during an outing with friends. Does anyone have information about that evening or about Ian’s movements at Cape Arago on May 31, 2020?
