CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – The Oregon State Police’s Major Crime Section took over the investigation into the disappearance of a man last seen in Josephine County.

60-year-old Richard Arthur Hillmann was last seen leaving a party in the 700 block of Pleasant Valley Road in Josephine County on November 22.
