A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are unknown. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2 to 5 percent of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. A number of organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and images of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.

According to current statistics, 4,000 people in the United States go missing every day. Sometimes a child suddenly vanishes from the bus stop or the local park or even from their own yard or bedroom. Or a teenager doesn�t return home after a walk to the neighborhood grocery store or a bike ride or a party with friends. Other times, an adult is mysteriously absent from their job or neighbors haven�t seen them for several days, and family and friends haven�t heard from them either.

Missing From
Riddle, Oregon
Missing Classification Endangered Missing
Sex Male
Race
White
Date of Birth 04/19/1957 (65)
Age 54 years old
Height and Weight 6'0, 180 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description A gray hooded Cycle Oregon sweatshirt that says "Going Coastal," black shorts, dark-colored thermal leggings, a yellow Cycle Oregon baseball cap, a Petzl head lamp, two-tone brown Shimano bike shoes with the word "Shimano" on the outside of the heel and the letters "SPD" on the outside of the toe, a blue plastic Cycle Oregon wristband, and a black shoulder bag. Photos of the sweatshirt and hat, the shoes, the wristband, and Bosworth in those clothes are posted with this summary.
Medical Conditions Bosworth was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a cancer of the blood, in 2007. He underwent chemotherapy and went into remission, but the cancer returned in his eye in 2009, and he had more chemotherapy treatments as well as radiation. Bosworth had a bone marrow transplant in April 2010 and went into remission afterwards. By the time of his disappearance, he had been complaining of severe headaches and had been confused and disoriented; his oncologist believes the lymphoma had possibly metastasized in the frontal lobe of his brain. If this scenario did in fact occur and the cancer was left untreated, Bosworth would have become increasingly confused and then die in a matter of weeks or months.
Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Gray hair, blue eyes. Bosworth may wear prescription Converse eyeglasses with black rims for reading. He is balding and may have a short gray beard. He has two small scars on the back of his head.
Details of Disappearance Bosworth was last seen at a Cycle Oregon event in Riddle, Oregon on September 16, 2011. He had volunteered to run a booth on Main Street near Riddle High School that evening and he was last seen walking along a road between Riddle and Canyonville, Oregon sometime between 11:00 and 11:30 p.m., after leaving his booth. He said he was going to find his tent, but he never arrived there and has never been heard from again.
On the day of his disappearance, Bosworth had appeared exhausted and wasn't acting as he usually did: he was extremely quiet and didn't participate much in the event. He is unfamiliar with the Riddle area. He was carrying less than $100 in cash on him when he vanished, probably about $40, as well as an iPhone 4 with a dead battery and possibly a small black bag with straps. He left his bicycle, wallet, credit cards and identification behind.
At the time of his disappearance, Bosworth worked as a mapping specialist for the Portland Metro; he'd been employed there for twenty years. He and his wife were about to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, and they have two daughters together.
Due to Bosworth's state of health, he is considered to be at risk. He may be suffering from amnesia and may possibly try to return to New York, where he lived for ten years in the 1980s. His remains unsolved.
