Hi birders,

I know this isn’t the typical post for this forum and my apologies for the diversion from the typical birding conversations, but I think our group might be able to uniquely contribute to the search for this missing person because he’s suspected to be spending time in a lot of natural areas (greenbelt, parks, etc.) and might be in the Boise area, potentially working his way towards Burley.

Ronald Ray Jones (goes by Ron) is my uncle’s father (I haven’t met him personally, but he’s family of family). He went missing from his home in Hillsboro, Oregon on Friday evening, 6/2/2017. He was wearing black b-ball shorts, dark green shirt, and Ecco sandals. He’s 5ft 5in, 185 lbs, with graying hair. He left on foot without his wallet, phone, keys, or any other personal belongings.

He recently had heart surgeries and hasn’t been on his medications in several days now. He may be disoriented and confused. There have been tips suggesting he might be in the Boise area, and if so it’s possible that he might be working his way towards Burley where he grew up and has business connections.

The list of places he might be spending time includes:

* Natural areas – in particular the greenbelt or any of the parks in Boise.
* Hotels – one tip suggested he’s been using hotel key cards to gain access to the breakfast.
* McDonalds – part of his morning routine.
* Any similar places along the highway from Boise to Burley.

I know we have a lot of people in our group who spend time on the greenbelt and other parks in Boise, so I thought it would be worth asking folks to keep an eye out. Here’s the flyer (including a photo) that’s being distributed to area hotels and others that might be able to help:

He’s not a danger to others but may be a danger to himself. If you see him or have any information, try to get photo confirmation (cell phone photo works) and call 911, and then contact the family.
