Family and Friends Search for David Bjorkman

Out of the Void on the search for missing Lane County resident 

Lane County resident David Bjorkman, 50, was last seen on Jan. 30 around 6 pm at the Fisherman’s Market on West 7th Avenue in Eugene. Bjorkman worked at the Fisherman’s Market for many years and is still close with the owner.

A friend reported Bjorkman missing to Eugene police on Feb. 2  after she was unable to reach him and her phone calls went straight to voicemail. 

It is believed that, on the night he went missing, Bjorkman was hanging out with friends prior to riding his bike to the bus station, where he intended to catch a bus to Veneta, where he resides. There is concern he may have missed his bus and chosen to ride his bike home in the dark.

Bjorkman’s friends and family have spent weeks trying to find him, and an award is being offered to anyone who can provide information leading to his whereabouts.
