Gerren was last seen at his home in Milwaukie, Oregon on December 2, 2014. He left to hike and camp in the Mount Hood National Forest on December 3rd, with plans to return by December 6th. He never returned. His vehicle was found at the parking lot for Frog Lake Campground. An extensive search of the area turned up no other signs of him.

7-year-old, Corey Fay, was a student at the Jesuit High School in Beaverton, Oregon. On 23 November 1991, he agreed to go elk hunting with a friend of his Dad’s Mark Maupin and probably Mark’s son, in the region west of the Tygh Valley, on the fringe of the Badger Creek Wilderness in Oregon. Corey’s father, the owner of the Northwest investment cars showroom, decided not to accompany them on the trip that day. He would never be seen alive again.
