OR OR - Douglas Burns Britt, 45, Tigard, Spring 1996 *clues to California*

[shaferfaradaysjf129173625]

My brother has not been seen since 1996. The last time I saw him was 1992. He was born Douglas Burns Britt April 18, 1951 in Portland, Oregon. He was born with club feet, deformed legs and hands, had to use leg braces and crutches. He was treated by Shriners Hospital for many years and only grew to be 4'11" tall..

Doug graduated from Portland State University in 1973 with a bachelors in political science. He was smart, funny and could be bitterly cruel. Doug never worked, had an apartment or home, computer, e-mail or cell phone to my knowledge. He always lived with my father until he did not come home in the spring of 1996.

DMV records showed his last Oregon address was in Tigard, a suburb of Portland. Various pvt investigators showed records of him being in LA County Calif in cities such as Los Angeles, Inglewood, Santa Ana and Maywood. This activity comes from the early 2000s and it is my belief that his identity was stolen at this time, because I simply think he would be unable to manage life on the edge in LA county.

I have the assistance of Senator Wyden's office to work with Social Security to locate him, however, there is no guarantee that SS will help us as a 3rd party. I will file a fraud case if necessary, however I hope not to do that.

A missing persons case # 19-00180067 was filed in the city of Tigard, OR in October of 2019.

There is a johndoe listing in Sacramento County #00-04624 (ncic U970002240) from October of 2000, but it is taking forever to submit a dna test via Tigard Police. I am more worried by the day on this case. My brother needs to know that while we were not close, he was not forgotten. I will not rest on anyone's word about this untill I SEE HIM FOR MYSELF.

Welcome to Websleuths! I'll assume your brother did drive a car back in '96? If so, was his car ever located? Was his last DMV address in Tigard your father's home, or someplace different? Last question for now is did he have any friends or other relatives he would stay in touch with from time to time? I'd wonder how he could have provided for himself and hope and pray the authorities will be able to help you!

Oh I am so glad you posted here! I saw the post over on r3ddit and was going to message you and suggest that you post here for more exposure. Thanks also, for the picture. Old school cool for sure.

Here's a link to the Sacramento UID case: UnidentifiedPersons - 00-04624

It seems like Doug would have more unusual abnormal skeletal findings than this UID but maybe the report is incomplete or something. It happens. Do you remember Doug having the nice but rather small teeth? Was he living in Tigard with your dad when he disappeared or were those DMV records from later on (after 1996)? He sounds like a really interesting guy and it must be excruciating not knowing where he is or what has happened to him. Fingers crossed that Tigard PD steps up and gets busy with this.

Do you know if some of the addresses found by private investigators were for homeless shelters?

I found a Douglas B Britt with addresses in LA, Inglewood, Cypress and two addresses in Santa Ana, both belonging to shelters. The landline listed, belongs to the most recent address, Orange County Rescue Mission in Santa Ana.

I’m not sure this is the right person but I do hope you find him.
Douglas B Britt - Santa Ana, California

Hello! I hope I can get someone to reply. I’m just now seeing this case. I noticed that Douglas’ sister said there was DNA taken on a John Doe. Was there any word on that? Thank you!
