The search continues today for Mark Bosworth, the Metro employee who went missing from the Cycle Oregon campsite in Riddle on Friday night.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any major leads or developments in the case at this time. However, since many people who read this site are friends or acquaintances of Mark’s, I want to keep everyone up to date.

Local media outlets are following the case closely. The Oregonian has sent reporter Stuart Tomlinson to Riddle to cover the case. Expect reports from him here. KOIN-TV reported a few minutes ago that law enforcement officials are following up on reports of a hitchhiker that could have been Mark who was seen near Riddle on Saturday morning.

The Monday Roundup

Here’s are some of the stories and other interesting bits that caught my eye this past week…

— As people in Seattle who care about road safety continue to cope with a tragic spate of fatal bike collisions, one alt weekly responded with a compelling manifesto, OK Fine, It’s War. Here’s a snip:

“The mindless repetition of this “War on Cars” falsehood—by car advocates harboring a phony, self-serving sense of victimhood—has led to a situation in which this “War on Cars” is acknowledged by most Seattleites to be real. Because of this regrettable specter, it is high time that cyclists, pedestrians, and their transit-­riding comrades openly publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of a “War on Cars” with a manifesto of and by the nondrivers themselves.”

— The New York Times says the war on the streets in Copenhagen is between people on bikes and people on foot (look for that column to stoke yet another anti-bike controversy in the Big Apple).

Portlander Mark Bosworth missing since Friday night from Cycle Oregon campsite

Mark Bosworth

Search and rescue teams and law enforcement officials have set up a command center in the small town of Riddle, Oregon (map) in an effort to find Portland resident Mark Bosworth. Bosworth, a 54 year old father of two who works at Metro as a GIS analyst, has been missing since around 11:00 pm on Friday night when he vanished from the Cycle Oregon campsite near Riddle High School.

According to Cycle Oregon Ride Director Jerry Norquist, Bosworth was on the ride as a volunteer, which is something he’d done for the past four years.

When I spoke to Norquist this morning, he said 65 people have amassed in Riddle to aid the Douglas County Sheriff’s search and rescue efforts. Norquist says Bosworth’s family is also on the scene. “We’re putting on the full court press to find him,” Norquist said.
