On an ordinary October evening in Portland, 18-year-old Owen Klinger walked away from his college campus — and vanished. Surveillance cameras captured fragments of his journey, but what happened after remains clouded in mystery and heartbreak.

In this episode of Mama, Mysteries, & Midnight Murders, I’ll guide you through Owen’s final known steps, the theories that haunted his family and community, and the painful discovery that followed. Together, we’ll explore how a promising life intersected with unanswered questions — and why this case still lingers in the hearts of many.

Join me, Julia Rose, as we sit together in the quiet of the night to remember Owen and reflect on the strange and the sensational.
