In the spring of 2004, a 13-year-old boy named Eric Vargas disappeared from his new home in Gresham, Oregon. On March 17th of that year, the young man, who had recently relocated from Canada where he was living with his father to be with his mother, was reported missing. Eric, a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, stood between 5'4" and 5'10" and weighed between 140 and 200 pounds. His life in a new city had just begun, but his presence was suddenly gone, leaving behind a void of unanswered questions. The circumstances surrounding Eric's disappearance were reported by his mother, who stated that he had left their home. He had only been in Gresham for a short period, a significant life change for any teenager, having to adapt to a new environment and family dynamic. Details about what he was wearing or any personal items he may have taken with him are not publicly known. The one distinguishing physical feature noted by authorities was a scar on his chin. The Gresham Police Department opened an investigation into the matter, documenting the case under number 04-3589. While the official report indicates that foul play is not suspected in his disappearance, the fact remains that a young boy vanished without a trace. Years have passed since Eric was last seen, but his case remains open. The lack of resolution leaves a painful uncertainty for those who knew him, a story without an ending about a boy who left home one day and has not been heard from since.
