Jacksonville, Ore.- A retired Oregon State Police forensics officer is missing. His family is asking for the community’s help to find him.

Steven Strauss has been missing since Tuesday, after leaving Dallas, Oregon where he had gone to watch the Great American Eclipse with his brother.

Steven was planning to leave Dallas and head home to Jacksonville around 5 P.M. that evening. Before starting the drive he called his wife Beverly Strauss. He told her was packing up his red GMC truck, that he had plenty of food, and that he would pull over to sleep if he got tired.

Beverly has been watching Stevens credit cards and his cell phone usage. Neither have been used.

Beverly says that while she’s concerned about where her husband is, her greater concern is the condition his health is in. As a “brittle diabetic man” Steven has gone into 3 diabetic comas. And Beverly is worried that he may have gone into another during his drive home from Dallas to Jacksonville.

After his most recent diabetic coma, Beverly Strauss found her husband Steven sleeping in a trailer on the back of their property. He was foaming at the mouth and needed immediate emergency aid.

Beverly Strauss urges anyone who sees her husband Steven Strauss who is 6 feet tall, roughly 245 lbs, and is wearing an insulin pump on his abdomen, to call 911 immediately.

Is his brother missing too or did they travel in different vehicles?

I am thinking...he went missing after he left his brother's house to return home after the viewing of the eclipse.

Jackson County, Ore. – A retired Oregon State Police forensics officer who was reported missing on August 23 was found dead Sunday, according to Oregon State Police.

Steven Strauss traveled to the Dallas, Oregon area to view the August 21 solar eclipse.

Steven was planning to leave Dallas and head home to Jacksonville around 5 P.M. on the evening of August 22.

Before starting the drive he called his wife Beverly Strauss. He told her was packing up his red GMC truck, that he had plenty of food, and that he would pull over to sleep if he got tired.

Beverly told NBC5 News she was worried about her husband’s health condition, as he has gone into three diabetic comas in the past.

She worried he may have gone into another during his drive home from Dallas to Jacksonville.

On August 27, Oregon State Police troopers with the Newport Area Command found what they described as an unresponsive male in his vehicle at Beverly Beach State park.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene and found the man dead. He was later identified as Steven Strauss.

OSP said there are no indications of foul play.

Steven was employed with OSP from 1972 to 1999. After being promoted to lieutenant, he eventually retired as a forensic criminologist from the Central Point Crime Lab, according to OSP.
