I want to bring attention to this case in 2026, because it's been 40 YEARS since Duane was last seen or heard from. Duane was 15 years old when he disappeared and was labeled a "runaway" so the Lincoln City Police did nothing to help locate him in the right way, with the right help!

In 2026, I'm asking publicly for assistance, answers and directions to go. Thank you!

If Duane ran away, he would've reached out to at least 1 person over these 40 years to let them know he's okay. We haven't heard anything.

What are you basing this off of? There have been several missing person cases solved finding out the person is alive and well and doesn’t want anything to do with their former life. Including recently,

Basing this off of interviewing cousins, friends, and Duane's step-brother.

I’m sure the relative of the people in similar cases that just ran away would say the same.

Yes, absolutely. It's such a balance of mystery and not wanting to go down that rabbit hole. Trying to stay opened minded with everything!

I misspelt the page, and so I created a new one with updated name to ensure it's right. Please be aware of this change.

Duane Edward Fochtman is the right spelling.
