DORENA, Ore. -- Search efforts have grown to find 27-year-old Michael Bryson who went missing early Wednesday morning.

Bryson was camping at the Hobo Camp Campground with friends last week when he wandered away from the site Wednesday morning and that was the last time he was seen.


The search is not isolated to just the campground and surrounding areas. Friends have deployed into cities all over western Oregon looking for any leads that could point them to where he might be.

His family said the longest they've ever gone without hearing from him is two days.

"It's very rare that five days in he would not have reached out to mom, dad, or sister," his uncle said.

The effort to find Bryson has grown beyond just those who knew him.

A facebook group with more than 2,000 members is dedicated to finding the young man.

The man's dad said Bryson doesn't know a stranger. He said his son was kind and friendly to everyone he met. He said he hopes that's the energy that brings him home.

A $10,000 reward is available for any information leading to his discovery, all which was donated to fuel efforts to find him.

I am giving crime here up. I may or may not finish up a few that I care about and conversations with people I was in some good ones in on certain cases or may not.

THIS I wasn't going to ignore. Or not share. Only because I care about the victims and cases I have followed or I wouldn't have taken the time.

This is QUITE the interview and it is mentioned briefly that they are helping Michael's family but there are quite the subjects and info throughout. Nate was as he is mostly the interviewer and he mostly sat back and did his job and boy just listen to to these two women. It/s a must watch imo. Who knows if they will be able to help Michael's family but it is awesome they have connected.

Loved the part too where they had a sign from Dylan in Candace's opinion at his service. I believe in such because I've had them RIGHT at that moment needed, at the right time, at the right moment. YOU JUST KNOW.

A controversial subject at the end that may bother some and something I've never thought about before.

(It's good to see you!)
Well, donation of human remains to cadaver dog handlers never occurred to me but if it increases performance, indeed, I encourage it.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear of a search and I'm optimistic that it'll be fruitful because I do think he's somewhere within that forest.

Or he was transported out on the party bus or another vehicle that might have left earlier.
 
There were two buses, but from what I’ve heard, only one bus had questionable significance.

Whatever happened, one of them afterwards said that they purposely doped him up. I can’t remember what they called it, but I would call it a drug cocktail. It’s cruel and horrible and it definitely caused Michael to go missing, one way or the other.

If he od'ed at the site, then I'm positive they removed him from the place in either one of the buses or in another vehicle. I'm not convinced he wandered off on his own. Not necessarily convinced he didn't, either, but leaning to he was transported elsewhere.

Yes, that could be a controversial subject for many and I understand why and Candace said as much but they are determined to make his life count I feel or she is for sure. And her thing of the signs at the service well that was something I do not doubt. I have had it imo in my life at moments most needed.

I have strong opinions on what happened in many cases and in this one I am unsure. But at the time I was not working and probably needed a distraction and spent hours upon hours and days on the FB thread and shared what I learned or saw on the private thread. I don't recall all but I recall the twins (not twins, and not sister if I recall correctly) and their mother, not "their" mother, the thing about the raves and these kind of parties, etc. and man I immersed myself. I also saw his parents, his mom for sure I know on the thread trying to discern as well...

Anyhow I am hopeful too that this will be fruitful. I think whether he went missing due to his own condition or due to someone else, he is gone and out there somewhere. They did find clothing well after the fact if I recall, LONG after, and I don't think it was that close to the party site was it? Not recalling for sure.

Good to see you TOO! If I get a chance I am going to catch up with your posts on Soto. That case, I mean, wow... I thought I saw all but tonight was listening to something I thought I had already seen for an interview and some of it was NOT ringing any bells. I will save further remarks from that thread. I definitely am not going to be regular here any longer and have made the decision to not start new cases here.

I thought that interview with Candace and the woman of the org was very good. Nate pretty much sat back and let them talk. The cadaver dog thing was very interesting and of course the people and "orgs" who prey on these parents, etc. as to how they can help them.

It was worth a watch would you agree? And yes dogs need to learn on something as do doctors, scientists, etc. but many would be morally opposed and I think it really depends what you have for a belief system. But that's another subject. I LOVE that they are helping Michael's family. If I was not paying attention to the video, I may have missed that part. And if I had not known who he was and his name.
 
Yeah, a friend who'd arrived at the campground a day or two earlier than Michael said there were two buses but that's all he said about buses.
Btw, that same friend said the last time he saw Michael was when they were drinking around a campfire at about midnight.
I dived into every subcomment and you name it in the FB thread for months on end. There is a lot to be suspicious of. And there was a TON on it from people that were truly there and even from his mom I am sure hoping to elicit some info.

I don't have a real opinion one way or another here other than the others that saw him last and such are not telling the truth. Whether to cover their own activities or because they did something, I don't know.

I do hope he is found one day and his parents get some answers. I do not believe he is alive.

I do wonder if the clothing found MUCH later was put out there because of the continuing nonstop questions...

But I do not have a solid opinion as to what happened.

I do think some know a lot more though.

I would agree with that.

I was not going to read and respond to all but there is responsibility, and lying here, one way or another, as to what really happened.

Yes, clothing was found the following December and info is that it was a mile from the campground. (Btw, I think perhaps the change of season contributed to the sighting.)
Anyway, I don't know if you recall it but the private investigator spoke to a homeless man who said he saw someone on the road at 4:30am. I don't think he (the PI) said precisely where on the road the sighting was but I highly doubt he was told the person seen was naked (lol), so I'm interested to know where along the road he saw the person in relation to where the clothing was found.

Next time I see a family member I’ll ask. If I remember! I don’t see them very often.

Change of season is a good point. You mentioned that in Delphi with the D wanting to take jurors to the scene. It is different, different time of year, etc. Hardly the same. Yeah, clothing my have been noticed more easily at that time of year in this one Possibly.

As far as the PI, I don't recall specifically but I recall in the case I think a homeless woman and people at a nearby campground or area, etc. maybe asking for cigs or drinks or some such or a ride. I don't recall any longer sadly and a lot of things in this or any case are "eyewitness" stuff, hearsay and so on. Yeah I can agree lol I do not recall any PI saying some man was naked.

I took in a lot on this one, the FB thread alone, my God could take you every day all day. I can't imagine how that affected his parents who were on there, at last mom was.

From it and through it, I am sure.

In many cases, I have pretty stubborn solid (but never precent generally opinions). In this one, I admit I don't know,. I solidly believe people are lying and not coming clean. But whether he got messed up and wandered off on his own or someone messed him up and helped him disappear, I don't know. I lean towards some foul play though, perhaps not in a "first degree" way. But I'm open to what may have happened.

Personally these kinds of parties and adults having them like the birthday girl's mom I think are so ridiculously irresponsible and immature that I have no words for it. It is one thing for kids this age and even young adults to be doing it, it is another for a parent to have arranged such, etc. It is just my opinion, no one needs to agree and may not.

As I said above, people are lying or not coming clean, now whether that is to cover their own activities or worse, I don't know. There was some real SUS stuff in that FB thread. Defensive, trying to turn the narrative, etc. I don't do FB any longer and it has been some years ago now, many over four, how sad for Michael and family so can't recall all

If I was to suspect anyone or foul play though it would go right back to those...

Honestly though, this is one case I am sorry to say he was there to party, they all were. Of course someone could have given him something, done something to him or he could have gladly taken someting and wanted to.

It isn't a knock, it is just tragic and no different in a way from Riley Strain the kid that ended up in the river in Nashville. It was meant to be and was a party weeked. Many things can be wondered and I suspect always will be but it could be just a total accident and tragedy of their own condition. That's not a knock at the kids or the parents, many a child and even ourselves have done such as young adults regardless of the parents or how raised.

I HOPE this search and collaboration finds him and gets some answers.
