Where is Owen Klinger?

     A first year student at the University of Portland in Portland, Oregon has gone missing without a trace. The university along with the friends and family and Owen are begging for help as they desperately search for their loved one. He was initially reported missing by some of his classmates and by some of his family. This last known sighting of him was at 7:30 in the evening on this past Sunday night. He was leaving a building on campus called Christie Hall at the time of this sighting. Officials have reported that everyone that knew him have spoken up about how extremely unusual it would be for him to go longer than a 24-hour period of time without speaking a word to anyone or telling anyone where he was or what he was up to. It is just simply strange for him to not contact anyone he knows, family and friends reported. 


     At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing light blue hooded sweatshirt, jeans, sneakers, and a drawstring backpack. He is about 6'1" tall, weighs approximately 165 pounds, has brown eyes, and medium-brown shoulder length hair. Officials have requested that if anyone knows the whereabouts or receives any leads or has any knowledge of Owen Klinger's disappearance to please contact University of Portland Public Safety at (503) 943-7161 or the Portland Police Bureau at (503) 823-3333.

    The University shared their concern through a statement on his missing poster, "We share in concern with Owen's family, roommates, and friends in seeking knowledge of his whereabouts. For Owen to go more than 24 hours without any contact with those who know him is unusual. Anyone who may have seen or had contact with Owen since Sunday night is urged to call University of Portland Public Safety...With the community's help, we hope and pray for Owen's safe return."

     This case is very fresh with very little updates at this point. Officials are investigating and looking for any and every lead they can possibly get a grasp on. It is vital that anyone that has any information at all to contact the University of Portland Public Safety or the Portland Police Bureau.

     Students all over the nation and the world go missing everyday. It is important to be informed on the reality of this traumatic issue at hand. The nonprofit Missing Person Foundation works daily - voluntarily - to help break the silence of those who have gone missing.
