On a late autumn day in Aberdeen, Washington, a 32-year-old man named Male Apolinar Oporto-chacon, also known to friends as Polo, prepared to leave for his job as a salal picker. It was November 24, 2017, the last day he was ever seen. That morning, he left his home around 10:00 AM, telling people he was heading to work. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a Native American male with black hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'3" and 5'7" and weighing between 130 and 145 pounds. A noticeable characteristic was a scar from a previous stab wound on his stomach. He was also known to wear a large cross on a neck chain. The circumstances leading up to Oporto-chacon's disappearance remain shrouded in uncertainty. The evening before he was last seen, on November 23, 2017, he had asked to borrow money. While he stated he was going to work on the morning he vanished, the exact location where he intended to harvest salal is not clear. Compounding the mystery, a friend later reported a belief that Oporto-chacon may have traveled to Oregon to find work. This possibility added another layer of complexity for investigators trying to trace his last known movements. Despite these leads, no one has reported hearing from him or seeing him since that Friday morning. The days turned into weeks, and then years, with no word from Apolinar Oporto-chacon. The Aberdeen Police Department is the investigating agency in his case, but few details have been made public over the years. The investigation into what happened to him remains open. His case is a quiet and troubling one, marked by a lack of clear information regarding his destination or intentions on the day he disappeared. The last confirmed sighting was of him heading off to work, a routine activity that ended in an enduring mystery, leaving his loved ones without answers. The overview of the case is that a man went to work one day and was never heard from again, with conflicting information about his possible whereabouts and very few leads for law enforcement to follow.
