C.O. detectives seek man missing for weeks

Deschutes and Jefferson County sheriff’s detectives turned to the public for help Thursday in finding a missing 32-year-old man last seen in mid-March.

Christopher Jason Cardonia last was seen in the Madras area on Sunday, March 18, but has connections to both Bend and Redmond as well, Undersheriff Marc Heckathorn said.

Cardonia last was seen on foot and was not associated with a vehicle, nor does he have a cellphone, Heckathorn said.

Cardonia is described as 5-foot-6 and 170 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has several tattoos on both arms and shoulders, and last was seen wearing torn jeans and a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt.

Anyone with information to help locate Cardonia was asked to contact Jefferson County sheriff’s Detective John Roth at 541-280-4490.
