In the summer of 1993, a young man named Curtis Neal Harvey vanished from the streets of Portland, Oregon. On July 26th, the 25-year-old was last seen in the downtown core area of the city. At the time of his disappearance, Harvey was described as a white male, standing at an impressive height of 6 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 6 inches and weighing between 200 and 220 pounds. He had brown hair and brown eyes. When he was last seen, he was wearing a black pocket t-shirt, a red and black plaid flannel shirt, and black Levi brand denim jeans. His distinguishing features included scars on his hips, a prosthetic ear, and a tattoo of the cartoon character Yosemite Sam on his right shoulder.

The circumstances surrounding Curtis Harvey's disappearance remain largely unknown, and there is a scarcity of information available regarding his case. He was reported missing to the Gresham Police Department, who are the primary investigators on his case. Despite the passage of time, his case remains open, and he has never been heard from again. The lack of details has made it challenging for law enforcement and his loved ones to piece together the events leading up to his disappearance. The mystery of what happened to Curtis Harvey has endured for decades, leaving a void in the lives of those who knew him.

The investigation into Curtis Harvey's disappearance is ongoing, with his case listed in national databases for missing persons. DNA samples from his brothers have been submitted and are on file, which could be crucial for identification purposes should any unidentified remains be discovered. The Gresham Police Department continues to hold the case file, with the hope that new leads or information will emerge. The overview of this case is one of a sudden and unexplained disappearance, leaving a family with unanswered questions and a community with a lingering sense of unease.
