Details of Disappearance

Walzer was last seen at the Medford Airport in Medford, Oregon on February 18, 2022. He rented a silver Nissan truck there and was supposed to follow his sister from the airport to Yreka, California. He never arrived in Yreka and has never been heard from again.

On February 25, the truck was found abandoned in a parking lot of the Gold Hill Sports Park outside Gold Hill, Oregon. He had left his cellular phone and other belongings inside the truck. A search of the Rogue River, which was nearby, turned up no sign of him.

Walzer's family believes he may be living "off grid" and using an alias and may not want to be found. He is supposed to register as a sex offender, but hasn't been compliant with that requirement since 2021. There were indications that he was in Kansas, Virginia and Iowa in 2024 and 2025. His case remains unsolved.
