22-year-old Ethan Swiger was last seen on December 16, 2019 when a family member dropped him off at the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission. The agency said that it was out of character for him not to stay in contact with family.

Swiger was wearing a dirty-brown sweatshirt, camouflage pants, and a yellow rain slicker when he was last seen. Swiger is roughly six feet tall, weighing between 145 and 165 pounds.

Swiger has a disability and walks with a severe limp on his right side. Family members say that he does not drive and does not have full use of his hands.

Swiger may have mentioned to someone that he intended to travel to Grants Pass. There has been no indication that he ever arrived there, however.

This young man is from my area. He was involved with a young woman who has always been very vocal on social media, she and her mother run some sort of a helping hand service. They collect stuff and redistribute it to folks in need. While he was wrapped up with the girl, a lot of accusations were tossed about on the book of face. Some fb searching brings up some of the posts.
My main issue is why our most delicate humans are not better protected. The photo of Ethan standing on the street holding a sign is the most recent, and the boy had lost a huge amount of weight, he looked cold, dirty, and scared. Breaks my heart. A human would not make it long in the elements overnight in Klamath Falls.

I don’t know Ethan or his family, but this case is heartbreaking.
I’d like to share that an organization working in Southern Oregon (Rogue Valley: Ashland, Talent, Medford area) called Compassion Highway Project, which is active on social media, often shares photos of folks who attend their outreach meal events. The COVID pandemic has halted their efforts, but I am hopeful that we might see Ethan pictured at one of those events...past or future.
