Marcus Dellwood left his apartment near the intersection of NW Kearney Street and 9th Avenue at approximately 9:40 PM on Sunday, June 14th, according to building security footage reviewed by Portland Police. He was not carrying luggage and left his wallet, keys, and phone charger behind — details his family says are deeply out of character.
"He texted me at 9:30 that night saying he was going for a walk to clear his head," said his sister, Renata Dellwood, 31, speaking from her home in Gresham. "That was the last anyone heard from him. His phone went dark forty minutes later, somewhere near Union Station."
Dellwood works as a SOC Analyst 2 at Prungl, a cybersecurity startup in Hillsboro, and has lived in the Pearl District for three years. Friends describe him as sociable and dependable, with no history of mental health crises or substance abuse. His last known social media activity was a post on June 7th.
Portland Police Bureau spokesperson Lt. Camille Rourke confirmed Monday that Dellwood's case has been escalated from a voluntary missing adult report to a formal investigation. "We are actively pursuing several leads and have reviewed available surveillance footage in the area," Rourke said in a statement. "We are asking anyone who may have been near the NW Kearney Street and 9th Avenue corridor on the evening of June 14th to come forward."
A search organized by Dellwood's friends covered Tom McCall Waterfront Park, the Eastbank Esplanade, and the neighborhood surrounding NW Irving and 6th on the weekend of June 27th. Approximately 40 volunteers participated. The search yielded no confirmed sightings.
Renata Dellwood says the family has hired a private investigator and is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to Marcus's whereabouts. "We just want to know he's safe," she said, her voice breaking. "That's all. We just need to know."
Anyone with information about Marcus Dellwood is urged to contact the Portland Police Bureau's missing persons unit at (503) 555-0198 or submit an anonymous tip through the bureau's online portal. A community flyer distribution effort is planned for the Union Station and Old Town Chinatown areas on Saturday, July 11th.
