Found Deceased OR - Chase Hove, 27, Bend, 5 June 2017

Bend police asked the public Thursday to help them in efforts to find a missing 27-year-old man who hasn’t contacted family or friends since Monday.

Officers took a report Tuesday of the missing man, identified as Chase Michael Hove, said Lt. Clint Burleigh.

They were told Hove had left his residence on Northeast Providence Driver with his vehicle, a 2014 white Chevy Cruze, with Oregon license plates 121 HED, Burleigh said.

“There are concerns that one might be a danger to himself,” the lieutenant wrote in a news release, asking the community to help them find Hove and/or his car.

An initial investigation led to information that indicated Hove might have traveled to the southwest part of Deschutes County, around Cascade Lakes Highway.

That's never a good sign. I hope Chase is found alive and well!

Chase Hove worked at Goodwill for seven years and never missed a day.

Chase was on several medications to treat a mental disability. When he's off the medication, her mother says, he goes into psychosis.

His mother is worried that eight days without medication might cause Chase to become disoriented, which she says just makes it more imperative to find him.

On June 5, three days before his 27th birthday, Chase was seen in southeast Bend. His car was found in that part of town, prompting officials to search that area.

His family said they have reason to believe Chase could be in a forest somewhere.

But making his disappearance more concerning -- Chase didn't take anything with him.

Bend police sent a drone out in the area last Friday to search for Chase but said they did not find any traces.

(Update: Update with search outcome; drones sought)
Another volunteer search effort was conducted Saturday for a Bend man missing for nearly three weeks.

Representatives of Destiny Search Project, who organized the search and one a week ago, said they're acting based on what the family requests.

[...]

Saturday's operation headquarters was the Bend Athletic Club parking lot and sought people with kayaks and who could hike through light to medium brush.,

"Unfortunately, we did not locate him, but have eliminated another key area in the search," the posting said.

Baker said they were seeking volunteers with drones who can search during the week, covering larger areas than volunteers can on the ground.

Before last weekend's search, Destiny Search Project officials said Hove's family was “launching a volunteer-based search to find him and bring him home.”
