On November 10, 2021, 45-year-old Charles Lee Keller, known to friends and family as Charlie or Chuck, was last seen at a Safeway grocery store in The Dalles, Oregon. A father and a plumber by trade, Keller was a longtime resident of Wasco County. His disappearance raised alarms when he failed to appear for a scheduled court date on November 15, 2021. This court appearance was significant as Keller was seeking to resolve an ongoing dispute with a tenant who had stopped paying rent and was refusing to vacate a fifth-wheel trailer on his property in Mosier, Oregon. His family insists it was highly uncharacteristic of him to miss such an important appointment, especially since he was looking forward to legally resolving the issue. The circumstances surrounding Keller's disappearance grew more troubling when, just days after he was last seen, a man named Shawn Marsalis was discovered occupying Keller's home in Mosier. Marsalis, who was an acquaintance of Keller's tenant, had barricaded himself inside the house and had ransacked the property. Authorities later found Marsalis in possession of some of Keller's belongings. While Marsalis was subsequently convicted of burglary and theft and sentenced to 34 months in prison, Keller's whereabouts remained unknown. Investigators conducted searches of Keller's property, even bringing in cadaver dogs, but the only trace of him was his truck, which was left behind. His personal cell phone was later found with an acquaintance, but his keys and work phone were never recovered. The investigation into Charles Keller's disappearance is ongoing, handled by the Wasco County Sheriff's Office, which continues to ask for the public's help for any information regarding his whereabouts. The case is marked by a distressing lack of answers. His family believes he may have been met with foul play. The discovery of an intruder in his home so soon after he went missing, coupled with his failure to attend a crucial court date, has created a deeply concerning narrative. The overview of this case is one of a beloved family man who vanished amidst a contentious dispute, leaving behind a community searching for answers and a family holding out hope for his return.
