The Portland Police Bureau is appealing to the public for information on the whereabouts of George F. Cline, Jr, also known as Eric Cline, a 53-year-old man who has been labeled as an endangered missing person. Cline was last seen on May 6, at the Oregon Health & Science University Hospital's emergency department and has not been heard from since,

Officials express concern for Cline's safety, considering he suffers from mental health challenges and does not serve as his own legal guardian. His family, together with law enforcement, fear for his health and are urging anyone with information to step forward. Cline is a white male, about 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighs approximately 160 to 175 pounds. He has brown hair and eyes, and is recognizable by his long beard, a prominent scar on his left buttock/hip, and several tattoos, including a prominent one on his inner left forearm,

Details about Cline's last known appearance are still sparse, and the police are combing through all leads. A photo of Cline has been disseminated in hopes that members of the community might recognize him and come forth with valuable information. The Portland Police Bureau in a statement said, "We are reaching out to the community, hoping someone will spot him and provide us with information that could lead to his safe return."

Anyone with potential leads or knowledge pertaining to Cline's current whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Portland Police Bureau's Missing Persons Unit. The authorities underline the urgency of this case, due to Cline's vulnerability stemming from his mental health condition, and the time elapsed since he was last seen. Family members, who have chosen to maintain their privacy during this challenging time, have reportedly been working closely with investigators in a concerted effort to locate their loved one.

For those who wish to provide information but prefer to remain anonymous, options are available. There are services and hotlines that allow individuals to submit tips without revealing their identity. Links to such resources have been made available on the Portland Police Bureau website, where concerned citizens can also find updates on the case and additional contact information.
