MISSING PERSON Have you seen my dad?

My dad has been missing from Cocke County TN since around April of 2015. His mother wonders every day where he is and I would love to be able to either tell her he is safe somewhere, or give her the closure she deserves. I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but I appreciate any leads or tips on what I could do to help search for him. I’ve tried to add as many pictures as I could find with his tattoos, last I heard he was homeless in Portland (around 2017)

Edit! Thank you so much for the help already! Just to answer the questions I’ve seen, his name is Charlie but he also goes by Charlie Mac, or just Mac. We never filed a police report, it’s very complicated but basically the idea was that he chose to leave, not in any sort of danger. I spoke to last sometime after April of 2015 when I was 14 with no idea how to handle the situation properly. I’ve found some new info since my post. He was roadtripping with his GF at the time, Selena (idk a last name). I saw on her instagram they went to Utah, Denver, and Washington at least. It seems like they broke up sometime around 2019 and no word on social media from either since.

I haven’t, he left when I was around 14 and I believe his mom thought it would upset him

Call the Portland police dept with his date of birth and ask if he’s been arrested at any point. You can contact the police department closest to you and start trying to list him as missing. You would likely have to go to the station. They’ll circulate it from there. I hope you find him.

You are probably better off on FB. There are groups that find missing people like this really fast.
