John William Johnston, 42, of Port Orchard, Washington, was last heard from on October 15, 2019, when he left several voice messages for family and friends. Concern grew when no further contact followed; he was reported missing to the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office on November 12, 2019.

On November 1 his truck was found abandoned on a remote forest service road in Mason County near the High Steel Bridge, far from his home. The vehicle contained identification, wallet, a pillow, blankets, clothing and video games, and the keys were left in the ashtray. His backpack was not in the truck.

The Mason County Sheriff’s Office conducted an extensive search and rescue operation on November 16, 2019, in the rugged area around the bridge but came up with no clues to his whereabouts. The case remains unsolved.

If anyone saw John, his truck, or his missing backpack in that area in October or November 2019, please share what was seen.
