Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP12558) and 2 other sources
On a summer day in July of 1997, 32-year-old Tracey Johnson was last seen by his father in Portland, Oregon. His father had given him a ride, dropping him off at a business located at 7635 SE Johnson Creek Blvd. in Milwaukie, a city bordering Portland. The purpose of Tracey's visit to this location was reportedly to return some glassware that he had stolen. After his father left, Tracey was never seen or heard from again. The date of his last contact was July 20, 1997. The official report of his disappearance, however, was not filed with the Portland Police Bureau until nearly a year later, on May 6, 1998.

The circumstances surrounding Tracey's disappearance are unsettling. At the time he went missing, it was reported that he had been involved with drugs and was associated with individuals who manufacture methamphetamine. This connection has led to concerns about his well-being and the possibility of foul play. The lack of any communication from Tracey since that day in July has been a source of enduring pain and uncertainty for his family. He is described as a Caucasian male, 5'10' tall and weighing 140 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

The investigation into Tracey Johnson's disappearance remains open. The Portland Police Bureau is the primary investigating agency, and his case is listed in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. Over the years, his case has become a cold case, yet investigators and his loved ones continue to hope for answers. The passage of time has not diminished the need for resolution, and any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could be the key to understanding what happened to Tracey. The overview of this case is one of a young man last seen in a precarious situation, whose life after that moment is a complete mystery. His disappearance is a somber reminder of the many individuals who vanish, leaving behind unanswered questions and a void in the lives of those who knew them.

Last Seen: Jul 20, 1997
