In late April of 1996, 52-year-old Paul St. Claire was reported missing under suspicious circumstances, and according to the sheriff’s office, St. Claire and the car he was last seen in have never been found.

Investigators believe his disappearance is connected to the unsolved murder of another man named David Larry Stroh.

During the investigation, authorities learned St. Claire was born Lloyd Adam Buzzard. Officials said he began using the name St. Claire as an alias in the early 1970s.

St. Claire moved to the Portland metro area where he became involved in various businesses and was affiliated with a man named Frank Tidwell. Tidwell was an alias used by a man named Robert Stroh, a “violent and dangerous” man with a criminal history, according to the sheriff’s office.

A female relative lived with Stroh. It is not clear how they were related, but officials note she became friends with St. Claire and say that friendship may have led to St. Claire’s disappearance.
