The Portland Police Bureau is on the lookout for Phillip Sumner, a 58-year-old man reported missing since last seen on November 18, 2023, in the Hillsboro area. Sumner is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 6'1" with a thin build. He has not been in contact with his family for an extended period and there is heightened concern due to his need for critical medication.
Authorities have turned to the public for assistance urging anyone with information or who might spot Sumner to immediately dial 911. The case, which has been ongoing for months now, has become increasingly urgent as time without a sign of Sumner stretches on. A photo of Sumner can be found provided by the PPB, attached to the call for public help.
Details issued by the Portland Police Bureau indicate that any tips or leads should be directed to their Missing Persons Unit at the email address [email protected]. Anyone reaching out is asked to reference the case number 23-302743 when providing information that could aid in locating Sumner.
In efforts to amplify the search, the Portland Police Bureau has released a photo described as Phillip's DMV photo alongside a portrait of the missing man. These images have been circulated in hopes that recognition from the community will prompt new leads in the investigation. Concerns are mounting as each day passes with the trail for Phillip growing colder in the absence of fresh information.
