A FB search for John Riley will bring up a few posts by concerned family members. Apparently John's disappearance is very uncharacteristic of him. He appears to be a hard-working family man who is well known to many. On his FB page on 1 Apr he posted "Looking for general labor ASAP, need to have your own transportation". I assume he meant laborer and I also assume he's a building contractor. (MOO) I wonder if anyone answered that ad? Hired or not, I'd ask LE to track people down to check out their interactions w/John.

I also noticed he has a few posts promoting the Roseburg Dream Center - Under the Bridge, a local non-profit. In Oct 2020 John said he was a volunteer board member.

About RDC-UtB: Under The Bridge goes out into the world to meet the homeless of our community where they are. We go out to the camps, under bridges, and wherever the homeless are to bring them food and the hope of our Savior. We bring bagged lunches to the homeless every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. Our goal is to go into our community to find homeless individuals and sometimes families and provide lunches, prayer, or just be available to talk and help wherever that is possible."

Where would a grown man along w/truck and trailer be well-hidden?:confused: There is a post about John on the Roseburg Tracker FB group. It seems they have quite a few folks who have already started searching with drones, etc. There are a couple of maps & pics posted along w/the 100 or so comments. I hope they find him quickly. I'm worried about John.:(

UPDATE:
John Riley’s vehicle and trailer have been located by law enforcement out of the area. Although Riley himself was not contacted by law enforcement, he was identified by a civilian witness whom he had contact with. Riley remains entered as missing through LEDS/NCIC, but he is not believed to be in danger at this time.

Well that's shocking. I hadn't expected his disappearance to be voluntary, if that's what it is and it certainly is looking that way. I hope the best for him & his family.

Welcome to WS, @Aldo6969. Hopefully John is healthy and safe. I also hope he knows that there are people who genuinely care about his safety, health and well-being. There are support systems and resources for people who find themselves at a crossroad in life. Please encourage him to reach out for assistance if he should feel it necessary. I've got John in my prayers.

You shouldn't apologize, I appreciate that you speak and write two languages. That's great!

I understand you are kind of stuck. If John sold his trailer at Home Depot his title was probably at his home. Did you get any kind of receipt from him when you bought it? You're probably going to have to check with an Oregon DMV office on using that receipt to replace the title. Surely someone at the DMV has worked with someone who had the same problem before? Well, maybe not a missing person, but a seller who cannot be contacted, and the buyer didn't get a title and needs help getting one for plates, insurance, etc. Good luck to you!

As earlier as this evening, John still had not been in contact with his family and they are all extraordinarily worried about him and the situation that he has put himself into. If someone sees John, please let him know that his family loves and supports him and are willing to do whatever they need to in order to sort out any problems that he may have had. They just want him home with them and to know he is safe.

Did you get this trailer issue resolved? Do you know if John was ever found and went back home to his family?
