Family Searching for Man Missing Since March

Eddie KochThe family of Eddie Koch is worried. The last time anyone in the family saw this lifetime resident of Eureka, was March 8. A missing person’s report was filed the second week in May, says his sister, Machelle Bates.

“It is very out of character for him to be gone longer than a week without at least a call,” she said. “Through word of mouth, we heard he was looking for a trimming job in Hayfork or Garberville CA.”

Eddie will be 28 in November. He’s 5’10” and weights about 165 pounds.

If anyone has information, the family asks them to please call the Eureka Police at 707) 441-4044.Eddie Koch

Does it make him any less missing if it is?

No, but it greatly expands the possible explanations for how he might have gone missing. Looking for “trimming work” + history of theft= trouble. What kind of quality friends did he run with who might have had work?

Not on the lam… Next years nutes. The implication being made above is that he couldn’t have had a trim job lined up because no one would hire a criminal robber to their legit scene, so he must have been a robber who told people at home he was trimming ( cuz “hey babe I’m gonna go up in the hills and rob some growers” might not go over so well ) so when he came back with weed he had his bases covered with folks who know him, but in the end he came up short and now he is playing fertilizer in next years grow. As someone who grew up in those same hills 40 something years ago I have heard of that happening a time or two.

I hope you find your loved one. I know what it’s like to wonder where a loved one is in that area. We never found our family member. Hope your family has a better outcome.

I hope you find him. Ignore the trolls. Judgy people are usually the ones who have something to be judged. Family is number one, so keep looking. Sending love and light your way.

Apparently some think judging is only a good thing when they complain about other people’s opinions. They say that it is not ok to say that someone has done something wrong when they have actually done something wrong but it is perfectly fine to say that someone who has not done anything wrong must really be secretly just as wrong when they object to wrong being done.

Believe or not, many people succeed just fine in not driving drunk, stealing or beating others up and aren’t hiding it. And even those who can’t seem to avoid that kind of behavior have a perfect right to object to it in others. Bad behavior is bad behavior and should not get a free pass because someone loves them anyway. Murders, child molesters, gangsters, etc all are likely to have family and friends who love them. There is no requirement that their crimes should never be mentioned because of that.

It’s called “karma” and he has amassed a lot of BAD karma. It’s not personal or judgmental, it’s the way the universe works.

Gross. Who cares what he has done in his past. So people need to stop yourselves on here. Finding someone no matter who they are should always be a top priority to The Family and to The Law Enforcment. And find them fast!!! Honestly this family has every reason to worry and think the worst no matter what he was doing out in those parts and who knows how far out he went. It gets worse the farther you go anywhere in the mountains in all of Humboldt people if you don’t know the scene. Good luck to this man and hopefully he is found ASAP and alive. Sending positive thoughts your way young man and your Fam too.
