Summary

When Howard Kley traveled to Coos Bay, Oregon, for a business trip, he left behind his wife and two adult daughters in California. They expected that this would be another routine trip for Howard. He would be gone for a few days and then return home where he belonged, but that is not what happened.

Late on the evening of January 26th, 1966, Howard Kley had dinner and drinks with the business associates he was traveling with. His travel companions last saw Howard speaking with a few women before they retired for the evening. By the following morning, Howard did not show up to leave with his associates, and it appears his room had not been disturbed or slept in. Howard Kley went missing without a trace.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Howard Kley, please call the Coos Bay Police Department at 541-269-8911.
