About Disappearance of Jeremy Bright

  • Jeremy Doland Bright (born May 25, 1972 – disappeared August 14, 1986) is an American teenager who disappeared under mysterious circumstances while attending the Coos County Fair in Myrtle Point, Oregon.
  • At the time of his disappearance, Bright resided in Grants Pass, and had been visiting family in Myrtle Point.
  • On August 14, 1986, he attended the Coos County Fair with his younger sister.
  • During the day, the two separated, but he failed to meet her that afternoon at the carnival's ferris wheel.
  • Several witnesses reported seeing Bright forcibly removed from the area by an unknown man, though these sightings were not confirmed. Initially, local law enforcement suspected foul play in Bright's case; however, within the week following his disappearance, several reported sightings of him in the area led detectives to reverse this decision, and he was temporarily classified as a runaway.
  • Numerous theories and rumors circulated in Myrtle Point following Bright's disappearance, which were detailed in a 1989 segment on Unsolved Mysteries.
  • Among them were that he overdosed on a drug at a party and his body had been disposed of by those present; another that he had been shot by local men while swimming in the Coquille River, who attempted to nurse him back to health, but buried his body in a shallow grave after he succumbed to the wound.
  • Law enforcement conducted searches of property in correspondence with these rumors, but found no evidence leading to Bright's discovery. A local man who had babysat Bright during his childhood, Terry Lee Steinhoff, was considered a suspect in his disappearance after Steinhoff was convicted of murdering a 32-year-old woman; there had been reports that Bright was seen in Steinhoff's truck the day he disappeared.
  • However, Steinhoff died in prison in 2007.
  • In August 2011, Bright's family stated they presumed him dead and held a formal memorial service in his memory.
  • As of 2019, his whereabouts remain unknown.
