Circumstances of Disappearance
On June 20, 2025, at approximately 1730 hours, the Sheriff's Office received a report regarding a missing 75-year-old male.

The reporting party, a family member, advised that the missing person (MP) had contacted them via phone later that evening at approximately 2200 hours, and reported he was near a road marker labeled “7.6.32.1.” Deputies responded promptly and located the referenced road marker within a few hours. However, the MP was no longer present at that location when law enforcement arrived.

Investigative data showed that the MP’s cell phone last pinged on June 20, 2025, at approximately 2000 hours near GPS coordinates 44.92095, -123.43023, placing the device within an approximate 1000-meter radius of that location.

Additional information was obtained from HUM vehicle telemetry data associated with the MP’s vehicle, a 1999 white Toyota 4Runner bearing Oregon license plate 946DFC. Data indicated that the MP arrived in the Rickreall Creek area at approximately 1400 hours. The vehicle was subsequently tracked driving toward the Mercer Reservoir before turning around at what appeared to be an impassable section of roadway. The MP then returned to a gate that was reportedly open earlier in the day but now believed to have been closed, arriving back in that area shortly after 1630 hours. Vehicle trip data further revealed multiple additional movements north and northwest along Burma Road (also referred to as 1920 Road), each time returning to the vicinity of the closed gate. The final telemetry record showed the vehicle at or near the gate location at approximately 2000 hours on June 20th, corresponding with the last known cell phone ping.

The road 7.6.32.1 referred to on NAMUS for Steven Wright likely refers to a logging road in Oregon. It wouldn't be mapped on most maps available to the general public and it may not be a public road, but there is a numbering system used for wayfinding and that seems like the explanation here.

In the NAMUS there are GPS coordinates of 44.92095, -123.43023 (44°55'15.4"N 123°25'48.8"W) that represent the last or near last location of his phone ping.

You can plug those coordinates into this website for the Oregon Forestry Service and when you zoom in you'll see Burma Road. ArcGIS Web Application

The nearby GPS coordinates 44.920865,-123.455087 will show you a good stretch of Burma Road.
