A man walked away from deaf facility where he was living sometime Wednesday night and his family is asking for the public’s help in finding him.
Scott Allen, 51, of Gresham, went missing between the hours of 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. on Thursday (Aug. 20, 21), according to Gresham Police.
Allen’s cousin, Jennifer Russell, wrote to KATU News asking if the station could help spread the word on social media.
He was living at an assisted living community for the deaf and mute called Chestnut Lane, located on the corner of NE Sixth St. and NE Cleavland Ave. in Gresham.

Allen is not familiar with the area and has only lived in Gresham for a month. He has a previous brain injury which has left him with no short-term memory. He also takes medication for seizures which he does not have with him, the family told KATU.
He is described as 5’10” weighing around 175 pounds with brown hair that is balding on top, and has a brown and gray beard. He wears large glasses and was last seen wearing a green or blue baseball cap and dark blue jeans. Allen communicates with American Sign Language and staff members at the care facility do not think that he can read lips.
Anyone who has information on Allen’s location is asked to call the non-emergency police line at 503-823-3333.
