Eddy, a white male with blue eyes and blond hair, stood at 5 feet 10 inches and weighed around 125 pounds. He was last seen at his residence in the 19000 block of Melon Street SW in the Grand Mound area.

This possible sighting occurred near the 14300 block of Case Road, not far from where he was last seen. However, since that time, there has been no confirmed contact with him, and his whereabouts remain unknown. The Thurston County Sheriff's Office is the primary agency investigating his disappearance and has appealed to the public for any information that might help locate him. Law enforcement and his community are worried for his safety, especially considering his medical condition which makes him particularly vulnerable.
