Eugene, Oregon – The Eugene Police Department’s Cold Case Squad is renewing efforts to seek justice and closure for the family and friends of Scott Matthew Sells, a young man who went missing over two decades ago. Scott Sells, who was 19 years old at the time of his disappearance, was last seen on September 11, 2003, by his family in Eugene, Oregon.
Scott Sells is described as a white male, 6’0" tall, weighing 160 pounds, with red hair and green eyes. At the time of his disappearance, Sells had recently undergone dental work and was missing his front tooth, as he was preparing for a crown. It is believed that he may have traveled to Arcata, California, via a Greyhound bus, but he never arrived at his destination. His family reported that it was highly unusual for him to disappear without any communication.
The Eugene Police Department is urging the public to come forward with any information that could help solve this case. The department emphasizes the importance of community involvement in bringing closure to long-standing cases like that of Scott Sells. The EPD has set up multiple ways for the public to provide tips, including through Crime Stoppers of Oregon, where information could potentially lead to a reward of up to $2,500.
Social media has also played a role in the ongoing investigation, with the Eugene Police Department encouraging the public to share any relevant information from platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube. These tips could be crucial in identifying suspects or uncovering new leads in the case.
The Eugene community, along with the Sells family, continues to hold out hope for answers. The EPD Cold Case Squad remains committed to ensuring that Scott Sells is not forgotten, and they urge anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation.
