[benita4506]

I don't know if anyone can help me with information about this.My uncle name Terry Lee Rogers was at the time 26 years old in 1973.He was camping at Elk Lake campgrounds which is in Bend,Oregon.I believe it was during the month of May 27 to 29th of 1973.He knew the area very well and had been working at the lodge nearby..Mount Bachelor off and on doing ski patrol. On the 29th of May some of his friends went to his campsite but he was nowhere to be found.All of his belongings,passport,truck with groceries were there but not him.The area was searched by the police but nothing . A few days later an 8 year old boy went missing..I'm not sure when but the boys body was found in a shallow grave.My uncles body or his whereabouts have never been known.Does anyone know about these events?

Your uncle seems to fit the odd criteria of missing people under similar circumstances described by David Paulides in his Missing 411 books. You may want to give them a read to understand what may have happened to your uncle. I'm sorry for your loss.
