Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36287) and 3 other sources
On a cold winter day, February 6, 1999, 38-year-old Charles Raymond Staley was last heard from in Medford, Oregon. He had plans to travel to Washington to visit his brother, a trip from which he would never arrive. At the time of his disappearance, Staley was experiencing a transient lifestyle. His absence was not immediately alarming to those who knew him due to his transient nature. He was known to move between different areas, making it difficult to pinpoint his exact whereabouts at any given time.

Charles, a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, stood at 6 feet 1 inch and weighed around 200 pounds. He was a frequent visitor to the Douglas County area and was known to seek assistance at the Gospel Mission in Roseburg, Oregon. This pattern of movement and reliance on local support systems was a known aspect of his life. Despite these known habits, his complete silence after February 6, 1999, was uncharacteristic and raised concern among his family.

Years have passed with no sign of Charles Staley. The Medford Police Department is handling his case, but very few details have been made public. His case is a difficult one, complicated by his transient lifestyle and the limited information available surrounding his last known movements. The lack of new leads has left his family with unanswered questions and a painful void. The overview of the case is one of a man who seemingly vanished, leaving behind a life of wandering and a family desperate for answers.
