Jeremy Bright becomes missing

He has not been seen since he went to the Coos County Fair in Myrtle Point, Oregon with friends. He has a scar on his forehead, a scar on his nose and a mole on his chin. He was last seen wearing a black windbreaker jacket and black Nike shoes with red shoe laces. He was 14 years old when he disappeared.

Help Solve this Case

Let me know what you think by signing below, You might think of something that I did not think of

The evidence is that Jeremy was with his friends while he was at a County Fair and he disappeared. If I was to open this case and investigate it, I would make a list of all his friends who were allegedly with him at the fair.

3 Possibilties in this case

What happen to Jeremy Bright?

Let's face it there are 3 possibilities here. First, A Stranger abducted Jeremy. Why didn't anyone see anything? Second, A Fair Worker abducted Jeremy. Again I find it strange that none of the kids with Jeremy saw anything. Third, Is that something happen to Jeremy while they were at the fair or shortly after they were at the fair.

A Case Unsolved

A Missing Child

After making the list of everyone who was with Jeremy, I would interview the girls on the list first. It has been 21 years since Jeremy disappeared. The kids with Jeremy at the time have grown up and probably have kids of their own. Some of them may have been scared or threatened not to say anything. Some of the kids may no longer be friends and may be more willing to talk now since so much time has passed. Someone out there knows something. I would interview the girls first because woman are usually more sensitive to other human beings because they become mothers. I would have a hard time doing anything with this case without interviewing all the people who were allegedly with Jeremy at the Coos County Fair back on August 14, 1986. Usually all it takes is for an Investigator with knowledge of the case to speak to some of the witnesses to solve a cold case. The Family deserves closure.

It was a week before they would file a missing persons report. It was three months before the case was turned over to the Coos County Sheriff's Dept. The Myrtle Point Police Dept really did nothing before that
