Oregon child welfare officials again asked for the public’s help finding Logan Divens, a 15-year-old Eugene boy who was reported missing Jan. 26 and is now being described as believed to be in danger.

The Oregon Department of Human Services distributed the alert through its Child Welfare Division channels, signaling that investigators view the case as more urgent than a routine missing-person report. The notice did not include a new location for Divens or a fresh lead on where he may be, but it made clear that officials want more eyes on the case and more information from the public.

The renewed alert matters because the search has now stretched for months without a public resolution. Divens was first reported missing in late January, and the fact that state officials were still pushing the case on April 17 showed that the concern had not faded with time. In cases like this, even a small detail, a recent sighting, a contact with an acquaintance, or information about a possible move to another household or city can help investigators confirm whether a young person is safe.

For Eugene and Lane County residents, the message is straightforward: if you have seen Logan Divens or know anything that could help authorities verify his safety, that information still matters. The case remains active, and the latest notice was designed to widen the circle of awareness well beyond the initial report.

Officials did not release new details about Divens’ possible whereabouts, but the repeated public alert shows investigators still consider the case open and serious. Anyone with credible information that could help locate him or confirm he is safe should pass it along to authorities immediately.
