In the coastal city of Newport, Oregon, a 27-year-old man named Tadd Von Culley vanished on Halloween of 1985. He was a white male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing at 5 feet 9 inches and weighing around 160 pounds. At the time he went missing, he was reportedly wearing a red corduroy shirt, blue jeans, and Army boots. The last confirmed sighting of Tadd was in Newport on October 31, 1985, and he has not been seen or heard from since. His case was officially created in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) years later, on February 22, 2016. The circumstances surrounding Tadd Von Culley's disappearance remain shrouded in mystery, with very few details available to the public or investigators. His case is classified as a missing person case, and it is being handled by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. Despite the passage of many years, the case remains open, a lingering question in the community of Newport. The lack of information has made the investigation incredibly challenging, leaving his family and friends without answers for decades. The official records provide a stark and minimal outline of the events, noting only his last known location and the date he was last seen. The case of Tadd Von Culley is a quiet and somber reminder of the many individuals who disappear without a trace, leaving behind a void of information and a lifetime of questions for those who knew and loved them. The investigation by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office continues in the hope that one day, new information will surface and shed light on what happened to Tadd on that distant Halloween night.
