Sheriff’s office: Still no leads in search for missing Medford doctor[/b][/h1]Family and friends of Graham Rhode Case are holding out hope for information leading to the whereabouts of the Medford radiologist, who [link=https://www.rv-times.com/localstate/search-and-rescue-activated-as-medford-doctor-remains-missing/article_aec11268-1772-11ee-968c-9b66d99b2b96.html]went missing[/link] 12 days ago.
A search effort that began Friday by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office has yielded no leads in Case’s disappearance, said Sgt. Shawn Richards, search and rescue commander for the sheriff’s office.
Case, 47, a widowed father of three, is a white man with brown hair and brown eyes, standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 230 pounds.
Case was driving the car at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday, June 22, when his mother reportedly saw him back out of the driveway of his home on Aerial Heights Drive near Cherry Lane in Medford.Jackson County Search and Rescue crews searched last weekend for Case without luck.
Sheriffs officials reported Friday that Case had not accessed any of his credit cards or bank information since he was last seen by family.
Richards, the search and rescue commander, said crews had searched by land and via fixed-wing aircraft over the weekend, checking places that friends and family thought Case might visit.
Richards said teams spent two days searching five different areas with about a dozen personnel.
After some interviews with family, we had come up with some possible areas to look, but unfortunately those didnt develop into his location. So, now were just waiting for a clue or something to surface, he said.
We covered quite a bit of the county, and we had about five areas of interest that we went and looked at.
Klamath Falls resident Meredith Case, the missing mans sister, told sheriffs officials that her brother did not have his cellphone with him because he lost it on a recent family trip to Mexico. She said her brother was last seen wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
Licensed to practice medicine since 2010, Case is a radiologist for Medford Radiology Group. Lewis said friends and family knew something was really wrong when Case failed to show up for work. -

Wow what a tragedy he had to endure. I really feel for him and his kids and hope everything works out for the best.
We tend to not prioritize our own mental health, that is for sure.

Suicide a possibility given his recent history. I hope not. His children need him now more than ever. Need to check his bank account for recent cash withdrawal. Can’t get farther than a tank of gas without cash or credit card.

Sherriff initial report said no access of bank or credit cards.
Yeah… unfortunately suicide a possibility.

Doesn’t mention. Did they find his car ?

Suicide with 3 kids? Wow

The other possibility is just being overwhelmed and wanting to get away from it all. We had a local doc who had gotten himself into personal and business complications beyond what he could handle. One day staff showed up at the office but he didn’t. He was missing for 9 months until someone tracked him down in Alabama where he lived under an assumed name working cash jobs.
So until they find his car, I wouldn’t consider it impossible that he had hoarded some cash and took the summer off from a very stressful situation.-
Really sad story. Hope his children find their way in life.

You do wonder…. Lost his cellphone on a recent trip to Mexico? No radiologist can work without a cellphone nowadays.
Lost on purpose? Left in shorts and a T-shirt? …. to throw off anyone who saw him drive away?
Whatever it is, hope he is OK.
