Louis C. Lakin was 37 and a World War I veteran when he disappeared in the winter of 1928. He was last known to be traveling on January 6, 1928, somewhere between remote logging camps outside Gresham, Oregon, and Missoula, Montana.

He had family ties to the Portland area, and his relatives reported him missing that year and mounted a long search. Described as having brown hair and blue eyes, Lakin’s fate was never determined and his disappearance remains unresolved and recorded in national missing person databases.

Does anyone have family lore or local memories that mention Louis Lakin?
