His ancestry profile has a few photos.
Interestingly, I believe his son is also missing.

Jerome Clements Charles – The Charley Project

Charles has been missing from Eugene since June 2, 1984. The Charley Project classifies him as missing. He was 26 years old at the time of his disappearance.

According to The Charley Project, Charles left his father’s residence on West 3rd Avenue, “saying he was going for a walk and would be back in about two hours. He has never been heard from again. Few details are available in his case.”

Charles, unlike the other missing people discussed in this article, is unique in that he comes from an infamous outlaw family: He is one of 10 children born to the late Avery Chester Charles and Ruth Wanda Charles. Every member of the family (alive or dead) has felony convictions. Charles has at least four siblings currently incarcerated in Oregon prisons for violent offenses.

An August 23, 1987, article from The Oregonian says, “Jerome C. Charles, 29, served two prison terms before his final parole in 1983. At age 18, he was first arrested in 1975 for driving without a license and resisting arrest. Jerome Charles was reported missing by his father in 1984. The elder Charles said he believes police murdered his son, but he has never taken that account to authorities. Police still list Jerome as a missing person.”
