    Details of Disappearance

    Perkins was last seen at the Cher-ere Bridge Camp­ground on on east Klamath Beach Road in Klamath, California on November 3, 2008. He left the campground en route to Eureka, California, driving his white 2000 Ford extended cab pickup truck with temporary license plates. He has never been heard from again, and his truck is also missing.

    Most of Perkins's relatives live in Missouri. Police believe foul play may have been involved in his case and are seeking his friends, in particular Eric Shrader of Arcata, California. Shrader may have been the last person to see him. Perkins's case remains unsolved.
