Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13046) and 5 other sources
Charles Eugene Bush Jr., aged 46, was last seen on December 1, 1997, in Bagley, Minnesota. Originally from Bagley, Charles had been staying with a woman in Grand Forks, North Dakota, prior to his disappearance. The woman reported that she last saw him before the significant Red River flood in April 1997, but no details about his activities afterward have been confirmed. When Charles was reported missing later that year, it was unclear where he had disappeared from, whether Grand Forks or Bagley.

Charles, a Native American man, was described as standing 5'3" to 5'4", weighing around 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He had distinguishing tattoos on his left shoulder and forearm, along with a scar on his left hand. Despite ongoing investigations, few details about his case have emerged, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

The Clearwater County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate his case, and DNA has been made available in hopes of finding new leads.
