Toby Eugene Anderson was 18 when he disappeared from the Selma, Oregon area in the late 1980s. The last contact is unclear: some accounts list August 22, 1988, while others place his disappearance as early as fall 1986. At the time he had been living with various relatives amid family problems and was a student at Illinois Valley High School.

Family accounts diverge sharply. Some relatives were told Toby ran away; others were told he died in a car accident. In 2018 his cousin Denise McGarity began investigating and turned attention to Toby’s paternal uncle, Almer W. Wright, known as Billy Wright, who was the last person reported to have housed him. Wright gave inconsistent explanations, alternately saying Toby was driven off to a juvenile facility or police station and at other times saying Toby was likely dead and buried in California. Family recalled Wright making threats after the disappearance and noted his involvement in drugs and a history of domestic violence. Law enforcement has found no record Toby was processed at a police station or juvenile facility, and no evidence shows Toby alive after 1986.

If anyone knew Toby, his movements in 1986–1988, or the property where he last lived, can you share information that might help?
