In the winter of 2010, concerns grew for the well-being of 39-year-old John Jeremy Biesen, a resident of Monmouth, Oregon. On January 6th, he was visiting with a friend in the coastal town of Gold Beach, Oregon. That day, John departed from Gold Beach, intending to drive back to his home in Monmouth. He was behind the wheel of his distinctive vintage car, a gold 1968 Ford XL coupe with a black vinyl top, bearing the Oregon license plate JFL826.
Communication from John was received by his family via text message on the same day he was last seen, but it would be the last time they heard from him. His absence became official when he was reported as a missing person on January 25, 2010.
The circumstances surrounding John's disappearance were particularly worrying. He had a scheduled appointment with his probation officer on the very day he went missing. He had previously contacted his officer on January 5th to reschedule the meeting, explaining that he was experiencing trouble with his car while driving back from a family member's home in Gold Beach. Despite rescheduling, John never made it to the appointment, and he has not been seen or heard from since. His planned route would have taken him from the Southern Oregon coast back inland to the Willamette Valley, a significant drive through varied terrain.
The investigation into John Biesen's disappearance was opened by the Monmouth Police Department. At the time he went missing, John was described as a white male, standing between 5'11' and 6'1' tall, and weighing approximately 230 to 245 pounds. He had blond or strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. Despite the passage of time, his case remains an open and unresolved missing person investigation. The lack of any substantial leads or evidence has left his family with unanswered questions and a painful void. The case is an overview of a man who vanished after what should have been a routine trip home, leaving behind a classic car that has also never been found and a family waiting for answers.Last Seen: Jan 6, 2010
