Terry Rogers was last seen Memorial Day weekend in Bend, OR. He had permission to be on a private campsite about a mile below Meadow Camp, southeast of Bend on the Deschutes River. His campsite was below a bluff where he had parked his pickup truck. Two of his friends notified authorities when they failed to find him at the campsite on Tuesday evening May 29th, 1973. His Truck with a bag of groceries in it was still parked on the bluff. Down below at his campsite were his glasses, wallet, camping equipment, etc. , but he was nowhere to be found. Friends and members of the Deschutes County Search and Rescue unit had conducted a three-day search on foot, horseback and helicopter, but again he was nowhere to be found. Terry lived and worked in the surrounding area and was attending Central Oregon Community College at the time. He was an experienced camper and familiar with the terrain.
