In the summer of 2020, amidst the communities of Medford and Central Point in southern Oregon, 73-year-old Reginald Eugene Tappan vanished, leaving behind a profound silence for his family. He was last seen on July 10th of that year. At the time, Reginald, a man with gray hair and hazel eyes, standing five feet eight inches tall and weighing around 140 pounds, was experiencing a period of instability, living out of his vehicle in the region. His disappearance was noted by family members who, after not hearing from him, grew concerned and filed a missing person report, initiating an official investigation into his whereabouts. The circumstances surrounding Reginald's disappearance are unsettling due to the limited information available. The period immediately following his last known sighting on that July day is largely a blank. A significant and troubling development in the case came sometime after he was reported missing, when his vehicle, which had served as his home, was discovered abandoned in California. The discovery of the empty vehicle in another state, far from where he was last known to be, added a layer of complexity and concern to the investigation, leaving more questions than answers for both law enforcement and his loved ones. The case of Reginald Tappan remains a quiet and unresolved matter, marked by a scarcity of clues. He disappeared from the familiar areas of Jackson County, Oregon, and the subsequent finding of his abandoned vehicle in California has not yielded public information that might explain the sequence of events. Investigators with the Medford Police Department are tasked with piecing together the timeline of his last known movements. The overview of this case is one of a vulnerable, elderly man who disappeared without a trace, with the discovery of his only significant possession in another state deepening the mystery of what could have happened to him after he was last seen.
