WA WA - Tor Robert Bilet, 21, Lewis County, 22 Oct 2004

[spangled]

Hey,

I just came across Tor Bilet on the Charley Project website, and couldn't find a thread for him here. I am unable to copy and paste from the site so information as follows, or full details at this link:

http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/b/bilet_tor.html

Tor was on his way to visit a friend in Sisters, Oregon, on 22 Oct 2004. He called his friend from a payphone at 3am on the morning of the 22 stating he was lost. He then stopped at a gas station in Morton, Washington to ask for directions.

He drove East on highway 12 to Randle, Washington and then turned onto Forest Service Road 25, travelling south.

Witnesses saw him on the road travelling 15 miles south of Randle. He has never been seen again.

His truck was later found abandoned by people who stole it and stripped it for parts.

Tor was on medication and may have become disorientated.

I also saw his profile on Charley Project a few days ago and thought of opening up a thread here. So thank you, spangled! Maybe it's a sign.

Bilet made a call from a pay telephone at a Chevron station in Morton, WA to tell a friend he was lost. He was last seen early on the morning of October 22, 2004, on Forest Service Road 25 south of Randle, WA.

I also noticed Tor's missing profile on NamUs today and came to see if he had a thread.

I wonder if at some point he was lost again and in seeking assistance ran into the wrong person or people?

How very tragic for him and his family.

Bilet was carrying $500 in cash and a cellular phone when he left on his trip. He used the cellular phone only once on the journey, in Seattle, Washington. His case remains unsolved.

Bumping case up one more time. Tor is not forgotten.

I’m really curious about:

A. When the last sighting occurred, was he for sure the one driving, or was it just his truck that was spotted on the road? It seems like it probably would have been dark at that point, so the latter makes more sense, but it also looks like the truck was traveling on a route that makes sense for where he was going, so I’d guess most likely he was the one driving either way.

B. Where specifically was his truck found?
