As the search for Thomas Weightman enters a third day, search and rescue teams are asking property owners in the Gales Creek and Hillside areas to search their properties for the missing man.
Weightman is 5'9," weighs 165 pounds, has gray hair, a gray beard, glasses, and was last seen wearing black shoes, blue jeans, a red flannel button-up shirt, and a dark colored baseball hat.
He left his home on the western edge of Forest Grove Tuesday morning.
"During a brief cellphone contact, Thomas said he fell into a hole and was unsure of his location," the Washington County Sheriff's Office said in a press release Thursday morning.
Efforts to use cell phone triangulation to find him failed, the sheriff's office said.
"Continued search efforts coordinated by the Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue (SAR) team are underway, and searchers are asking residents along Gales Creek Road for help checking their property," the sheriff's office said. "Specifically, SAR is asking for property owners South of NW Wilson River Highway, along NW Gales Creek Road, down to NW Mystic Drive, with an Eastern boundary of NW Shearer Road."
Multiple witnesses described seeing him walking toward Gales Creek.
"Anyone who has seen Thomas after 3:30 p.m. on October 14, 2025, is asked to call non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111 and 911 if he is located," the sheriff's office said.
