TOKETEE FALLS, Ore. – The search for a missing man in Douglas County was temporarily suspended due to unfavorable weather conditions.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said on the evening of February 4, 29-year-old Anthony Fennimore of Silverton told police he and his friend, 30-year-old Jeffery A. Vance, had been lost in the woods for two days.
According to Fennimore, the pair experienced vehicle problems after they got lost. They walked away from the vehicle on the night of February 1. The two were reportedly separated sometime during the morning of February 3.
The next morning, Fennimore came across some people who gave him a ride to Glide.
Vance is still missing. He’s described by police at 6 feet tall, weighing 300 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last known to be wearing black Helli Hansen rain gear, a brown or gray stocking cap, a camouflage backpack and Georgia boots.
On February 12, the sheriff’s office announced the search for Vance was suspended due to heavy snowfall in the area he went missing. Once conditions improve, they’ll restart the search.
Anyone who has information about Vance’s location is asked to call the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
