Sheriff's deputies are searching for a missing Glide man whose pickup was found over an embankment Monday morning.

50-year old Michael Mallory went to work Monday morning but never arrived.

Deputies said his pickup was found over an embankment about 4 miles up Little River Road, about 7:30 Monday morning, but Mallory was not around.

Officers say the pickup was about 20-feet off the roadway, and had impacted a tree with moderate front end damage. Deputies attempted to contact Mallory all day without success.

Sheriff's Office Marine Patrol Deputies searched Little River downstream to the North Umpqua River.

Anyone who may have seen Mallory's 1999 Dodge pickup with a canopy Monday morning, or knows where he is, should contact the the Sheriff's Office at 440-4471.

Ore. deputies searching for missing Glide man
Associated Press - March 24, 2008 11:35 PM ET

GLIDE, Ore. (AP) - The authorities are searching for an Oregon man whose damaged pickup was found over an embankment Monday morning.

Sheriff Jim Burge of Douglas County says the vehicle is registered to Michael Mallory of Glide.

Mallory's wife told deputies her husband went to work as usual Monday and has not been heard from since. Burge says deputies put a boat in the Little River and searched four miles downstream to the North Umpqua River, but there was no trace of the 50-year-old man.

Gotta Hava Java owner still missing
March 25, 2008

GLIDE — Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a Glide man whose pickup was found over an embankment on Little River Road Monday morning.

Officials have not been able to find Michael Patrick Mallory, 50, who headed for work as usual Monday morning and apparently hasn’t been seen since, according to a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office press release.

Mallory is the owner of the Gotta Hava Java coffee stand enterprise.

The man’s silver 1999 Dodge 4x4 pickup was found around 7:30 a.m. in the 3700 block of the road. It had traveled off the south side of the road and about 20 feet down the embankment, according to the press release.

The pickup had moderate damage to the front end, which had smashed into a tree. Deputies found no one at the scene, but determined the vehicle belonged to Mallory. They went to the man’s home to look for him, and his wife reported he’d left for work.

Officials are not sure what time Mallory left for work, said Dwes Hutson, Sheriff’s Office spokesman. The truck was found about four miles from Mallory’s home.

Sheriff’s Office marine patrol deputies used a boat to search Little River downstream about four miles to the North Umpqua River and found no signs of Mallory, according to the release.

A search of the immediate area was also conducted, Hutson said, but at this point, the man’s disappearance remains a mystery.

“They’re trying to cover as much ground as they can and cover as many bases as they can,” he said of officials.

Mallory is described as standing 6-feet, 2-inches tall and weighs 200 pounds. He has graying strawberry blond hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information on Mallory’s whereabouts or who may have seen his vehicle early Monday morning should contact the Sheriff’s Office at 440-4471.

"Years ago, the Mallory family understood that children in the community need support. They have been avid supporters of school carnivals and fund raising events for a variety of "kid causes" through donation of door prizes and gift baskets. They sponsor the local Teacher of the Month program.

Through radio advertisements and participation in the annual Duck Race, the Mallory family also works to promote child abuse awareness."

ANOTHER BURG-BIZ LOSS
Published: January 27, 2008

After three years in the game — trying to break ahead by selling sandwiches and salads with gourmet coffee — the Gotta Hava Java shop on Garden Valley Boulevard in Roseburg has called it quits.

“I’m sad that I put three years in and had to close down,” owner Mike Mallory said, but earnings were marginal and the three years were long.

The three Gotta Hava Java coffee stands — which Mallory began opening 14 years ago in Roseburg — will remain open, he said.

Calling the restaurant business a tough one to break into, Mallory said he and his wife never had more than one day off at a time and decided to fold the sandwich, salad and pasta shop on Jan. 1, after their three-year lease ended and the landlord announced he wanted an extra $500 per month in rent.

Mallory said the rent for the 1,500 square feet of working space was already above $2,000 and he couldn’t incur the extra cost.

“We were building a business there,” Mallory said, admitting there were expectations for tough times, but the bleak economic forecast for 2008 also played a factor in his decision to close.

With wireless Internet, Mallory said the Gotta Hava Java restaurant also became a meeting place for different clubs and businessmen, regular customers who mourn the closure.

“Everyone told us the coffee is great, the food is great, the service is great,” he said.

I'll see if any family members can get updates. The rivers are fast and there are many undertoes that could have swept him miles down the river in no time. (If he got out and fell into the river)

you can see the area. If this area is correct, it seems strange...not even at a corner. Is on a straight away. I didn't see mentioned in previous posts anything about blood found in the truck. This is strange. If he wasn't hurt...then where the hell is he? He was familiar with the area. This is weird. I suppose he could have just bumped his head w/o an open wound which would explain no blood. Then perhaps wandered off being dazed from the crash? This is weird.

Missing Glide man faced civil lawsuit


Officials are still searching for missing Glide resident Michael Patrick Mallory, but in the meantime, a court battle involving the fate of his Roseburg coffee stand business wages on.

Mallory, 50, was set to appear in Douglas County Circuit Court Monday for a hearing about a lawsuit filed last year against his business, Gotta Hava Java Inc. However, the man has been missing since the morning of March 24, when his pickup was found crashed over an embankment on Little River Road in Glide.

“There’s a complication in that Michael Mallory has disappeared,” Charles Lee, Mallory’s attorney, told Judge Joan Seitz Monday, “and we don’t know what’s happened to him.”

The pickup was found about four miles from Mallory’s home, over an embankment and smashed into a tree. Officials with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office have been searching for the man since, seeking the public’s help in finding him.

Lee noted that Mallory is an important witness for the case, and sought to have the hearing delayed. Seitz denied the request, saying it was unclear when, or if, Mallory might become available.

The man’s parents, who sold the business to Mallory and his wife, Rochelle, several years ago, are suing over some $150,000 they say their son and daughter-in-law still owe them but are not paying.

At issue Monday was Bert and Evelyn Mallory’s request for Seitz to order Michael and Rochelle Mallory to stop selling company equipment until the lawsuit has been resolved.

Should the senior Mallorys win their lawsuit and foreclose on the business, the assets could help make up for the debt, said their attorney, Randy Rubin.

“We want something back,” he said.

Lee, however, argued that the agreement drawn up when the business was sold in 1999 applies only to equipment owned at that time, not equipment purchased later.

Regardless, Lee said, that agreement is no longer valid. Lee said in the face of financial struggles, caused in part by an increase in competitors in the coffee industry, the family verbally renegotiated the contract in 2006.

Originally, the Mallorys sold the business for $250,000, carrying notes for their son and daughter-in-law, according to the lawsuit. But in the later negotiations, Lee said the senior Mallorys agreed to wipe out any debt still owed to them.

“This was something that we all agreed was a risky venture when we agreed to do this,” Rochelle Mallory testified.

Bert and Evelyn Mallory also testified, denying any such negotiations had taken place.

Seitz agreed to enact a restraining order that will keep the company’s assets from being sold. A trial date for the lawsuit, which also claims the defendants have defaulted on thousands of dollars in debt on the senior Mallorys’ credit lines, has not been scheduled.

Testimony throughout the tense, nearly three-hour hearing revealed bitter family relationships that seemed to stem from loose contracts and differing expectations.

The tension was magnified by Michael Mallory’s absence.

When she first took the stand, Rochelle Mallory was asked by Rubin whether she knew where her husband was.

The woman immediately broke down in tears, saying, “No, I do not.”

Mallory, who reported that her husband had gone to work as usual the morning he disappeared, was not available for comment following the hearing.

Michael Mallory’s parents declined to discuss the lawsuit further. They said, however, despite disagreements with their son, they are “more than concerned” about his welfare.

“We don’t know if he’s dead or alive,” Evelyn Mallory said.

Sheriff’s Office spokesman Dwes Hutson said Monday that investigators are looking into all possible explanations.

Searches of the area where the pickup was found and Little River have been conducted. More searches are pending, Hutson said, though he noted the area is not a particularly remote place where people would typically get lost.

Bert Mallory said he checked out the scene last week where the pickup was found and thought the circumstances seemed suspicious. For instance, he said his son reportedly had weekend bank deposits with him, and while the checks were found, the cash was missing. Officials could not confirm that information.

Bert Mallory said he also doesn’t believe the pickup ended up there by accident, though he said it’s too early to speculate.

“No one knows what happened, really,” he said.

Officials have been receiving leads from the public and continue to encourage people to call in, at 440-4471, with any information that might help lead to Mallory.

Douglas County man missing for nine days
By The Associated Press

GLIDE, Ore. — Douglas County police are still looking for 50-year-old Mike Mallory, who has been missing for nine days.

The owner of "Gotta Hava Java" coffee stands left his home in Glide for work as usual last Monday morning.

Someone later found his pickup over an embankment along Little River Road. The truck had struck a tree, but there was no sign of Mallory.

Search crews covered four miles of Little River downstream to the North Umpqua but did not find him.

Mallory was due in court Monday at a hearing regarding a lawsuit between him and his parents regarding the coffee business. His wife says she does not know where he is.

Topic: Husband missing can you help me find him, please Mike Mallory come home

My husband has been missing for 7 weeks now, the local sherriff's don't think it was foul play, but I don't think they know for sure. I haven't been too impressed with their tactics or results. His truck was towed over 20 miles with the window open, before forensic testing. Is it just me or is that nuts? And the window was left open for the entire time, in the rain, snow and hail. Do they really expect to get results after that, or just really upset the family??

After 7 weeks they are finally going to let us get the truck back to get it repaired.

I just want him home safe and sound. I don't believe that he just left me, our two kids and two grandkids.

Some two dozen tips have come into the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office regarding the March 24 disappearance of Glide resident Michael Patrick Mallory.

A few people thought they’d spotted the 50-year-old man, owner of the Gotta Hava Java coffee stands in Roseburg. Most have offered their theories about what may have happened to him, said Dwes Hutson, Sheriff’s Office spokesman.

But more than three months after he failed to show up to work that morning, Mallory’s disappearance remains a mystery.

Detectives, Hutson said, have found no evidence to point them in any particular direction.

“They’re still being really open-minded with this investigation, looking at all the different angles,” he said.

Mallory’s 1999 Dodge 4x4 pickup was found down an embankment by a U.S. Forest Service employee around 7:30 a.m. It had crashed into a tree on the 3700 block of Little River Road in Glide, in the opposite direction Mallory would have been expected to take on his way to work, and about four miles from his home.

“The bottom line is,” Hutson said, “we don’t know why he was (going) that direction.”

Although the truck had crashed, there was no evidence the driver would have suffered serious injury. Deputies, detectives and search and rescue volunteers with dogs searched the area at least three times.

Marine patrol deputies searched Little River by boat, heading downstream to the North Umpqua River. Hutson said authorities, based on evidence at the scene, are fairly certain Mallory didn’t end up in the water.

The man is reported to have been in possession of the weekend’s business receipts, but the cash was also gone.

“I think there are a number of possibilities,” Hutson said, “and without some sort of information to back it up, it’s all speculation.”

Mallory’s parents, Bert and Evelyn Mallory of Roseburg, say they, too, are at a loss.

“Of course we’re concerned about his welfare,” Evelyn Mallory said last month, “but we have no answers.”

She still wonders if her son drowned in the river, and whether his body will turn up once water levels drop.

“We just have to wait and see,” she said. “All we can do is leave it in God’s hands.”

A bitter court battle over the rights to Gotta Hava Java Inc. had previously split the family apart, and Evelyn said she has yet to hear from Mallory’s wife, Rochelle.

Bert and Evelyn Mallory, who sold the business to their son and daughter-in-law several years ago, are suing over some $150,000 they say the couple still owes them.

The case is pending in court.

Rochelle Mallory could not be reached for comment on her husband’s disappearance.

Anyone with information about the missing man is still encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 541-440-4471. Mallory is described as standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds. He has graying strawberry blond hair and blue eyes.

[Roamer]

Thank you for the update, and welcome to the board.

[TigressPen]

This is suspicious for sure. And I feel there is more to it than meets the eye. What is a shame is that parents and thier son were in a legal battle. And now the son is gone without any resolution to that situation. To me, the emotional no resolution is more tragic and takes precedence over the legal one.

I pray he is found and safe.

Oregon coffee stand man missing 3 months
7/5/2008, 3:52 p.m. PDT
The Associated Press

GLIDE, Ore. (AP) — Michael Mallory's pickup truck was found crashed against a tree on a riverbank three months ago, but he has not been found.

The weekend receipts from his Gotta Hava Java coffee stand business in Roseburg were gone, and the truck was not on a route he would have been expected to take going to work on a Monday morning.

Investigators say that, based on the evidence of the scene, they don't think he wound up in the Little River.

But that's about as much as they can conclude.

"I think there are a number of possibilities," said Dwes Hutson, spokesman for the Douglas County sheriff's office, "and without some sort of information to back it up, it's all speculation."

Tips, theories and reported sightings have come into the sheriff's office, Hutson said, but no evidence that points detectives in any particular direction.

"They're still being really open-minded with this investigation, looking at all the different angles," he said.

Although the truck had crashed, there was no evidence the driver would have suffered serious injury. Deputies, detectives and search and rescue volunteers with dogs searched the area at least three times.

Marine patrol deputies searched Little River by boat, heading downstream to the North Umpqua River. Hutson said the evidence at the crash scene left the detectives fairly certain that Mallory, 50, of nearby Glide, didn't end up in the water.

The coffee business had caused a family rift.

Mallory's parents, Bert and Evelyn Mallory of Roseburg sold the business to their son and daughter-in-law several years ago and are suing about $150,000 they say the couple still owes them.

Evelyn Mallory said last month she still wonders whether her son drowned and whether his body will turn up once river water levels drop.

"We just have to wait and see," she said. "All we can do is leave it in God's hands."

Glide man missing since March 24th (http://www.kpic.com/news/16970401.html)



Story Published: Oct 30, 2008 at 8:53 AM PDT

The saga doesn't end for the parents of Michael Mallory, who previously owned the Gotta Hava Java coffee stands. The civil case was heard in court on Monday over the coffee business.
http://media.kpic.com/images/mallory1.jpgMichael Mallory is still missing and his wife Rochelle didn't attend the court hearing.
The parents of the missing man went to court to try to get the business back.
Judge Joan Seitz appointed the parents as reveivers of the Gotta Hava Java business which means the receiver is responsible for the operations of the business from now on. The parents had gone to court before to recover money they claim was never paid back to them when Michael bought the business.


It's still unclear as to what will happen with the business.
There has still been no sign of Mallory, after his pickup was found over an embankment south of Glide on the day he was supposed to be in court earlier this year.

ROSEBURG, Ore. -- A judge has set a status check for March in the case of the Gotta Hava Java coffee shops, that are in limbo after the owner went missing and his parents are suing to get the shops back.

Attorney Randy Rubin was in court Monday morning, representing Elbert Mallory and his wife.

They are suing to get the shops back, after they said Michael Mallory owed them thousands of dollars for the purchase of the business.

Michael Mallory has been missing since March, when his pickup was found over an embankment on Little River Road, south of Glide.

Rubin says there is so much tax debt on the business, that it may not even be worth taking it back for the Mallorys.

Judge Joan Seitz set March 2nd for a status check, so they would have time to determine whether they want to go ahead with the case.

Gotta Hava Java closes in Roseburg

Gotta Hava Java has closed all three of its Roseburg coffee stands, according to workers familiar with operations, bringing an end to a gourmet coffee phenomenon that began with a little truck and extended to five quick-serve locations and a small restaurant as recently as 2005.

“Things were going pretty much downhill,” said Ryan Baker, a longtime Gotta Hava Java employee who worked there for the past three years and off and on for 15 years. Baker said workers were notified Friday that Saturday would be the last day of business for the coffee huts.

Baker said that Gotta Have Java co-owner Rochelle Mallory promised workers she’d issue their last paycheck on Monday. Mallory has been operating the business on her own since March, when her husband, Michael Mallory, disappeared from the scene of a single-vehicle accident on Little River Road.

By Monday evening Baker said Mallory had not issued any paychecks and was not answering her phone. “I’m going to keep on trying, though,” he said.

Baker, whose usual post of late was at the Gotta Hava Java stand on Northeast Stephens Street, said the coffee houses employed about five people as of Friday. Many of the 20 or so workers who remained after the Mallorys closed the Gotta Hava Java restaurant on Garden Valley Boulevard late last January had quit in recent weeks, he noted.

On Monday the Gotta Hava Java stand at the Harvard 76 Station was idle, and there were no signs of a permanent shutdown. Baker said he visited the stand and others on Stephens Street and at the Roseburg Valley Mall to remove signs that announce hours of operation.

Calls to Mallory by The News-Review on Monday were unanswered.

Gotta Hava Java is on the Thursday morning docket at the Douglas County Courthouse for a hearing on an eviction notice issued by Colvin Oil Co., owner of the property at 345 W. Harvard Ave.

Gotta Hava Java avoided a similar hearing Sept. 30 for an eviction notice issued by Raintree Management Inc. when it paid back rent for a storage facility on Chestnut Street, said Raintree Management agent Diana Wright.

“They did pay it, after we filed,” Wright said.

Bert Mallory, who is Michael Mallory’s father and the original owner of Gotta Hava Java, said he is thinking of buying the business back from his daughter-in-law but won’t make a decision until after the court hearing Thursday.

Mallory opened his first Gotta Hava Java in 1992 — the first coffee stand in Roseburg, he said — next to the Larson’s Superstores off Garden Valley Boulevard. Staples is currently at the site.

In April, the senior Mallory met Rochelle Mallory in court with a lawsuit that claimed she and his son, who had disappeared about a month before, still owed him about $150,000 for the business they bought in 1999.

“We haven’t been paid anything for two years,” he said of the $250,000 deal that had him and his wife, Evelyn, originally carrying notes for their son and daughter-in-law.

Hiker finds human skeleton on Friday the 13th

GLIDE, Ore. -- A hike found skeletal human remains near Glide, Ore., on Friday the 13th, according to the Douglas County Sheriff.

Sheriff's office staff responded to the scene and verified the remains appeared to be human. Law enforcement personnel responded to the scene and collected the remains. The remains have been sent to the Oregon State Police Crime Laboratory for further examination.

The hiker called the sheriff around 4 p.m. on Friday, March 13.
http://www.kpic.com/news/local/41321032.html

[Nut44x4]

Well, let's see... Michael's truck was found on Little River Road..........

GLIDE — Recovery efforts continued today for what authorities believe to be human skeletal remains found in the Glide area by a hiker Friday.

Authorities did not provide any further details this morning, such as how many or what bones were found, what condition they were in or whether they were scattered or intact.

The hiker reported finding the remains Friday, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. A story in Monday’s News-Review provided the incorrect date.

The man, who could not be reached for comment this morning, said he found them in the brush off of a forest road in the Little River Road area, according to logs from the county’s dispatch center.

Authorities declined to confirm the location.

The remains will be sent to the Oregon State Police Crime Laboratory for further examination that could help authorities with determining an identity.

“We work with them to try and do that, based on what we recover,” said Dwes Hutson, Sheriff’s Office spokesman, “based on our cases that we have open.”

Hutson said any clues from the remains will be compared to missing persons cases in Douglas County. There are about 20 local cases.

In these situations, authorities may use dental records if teeth are found among the remains or DNA, for example.

Hutson said authorities have increasingly made steps over the past 10 or 15 years to gather dental records and DNA in missing persons cases, and doing so is now required by law.

“It’s simply for situations like this,” he said.

In examining the remains, authorities will also attempt to determine a cause of death.

[doilookstupid2u]

I pray to God, that the remains they found aren't Mike's remains. Bert & Evelyn Mallory do not deserve anymore pain related to their son and/or his wife. I have known these lovely people for many, many years, and believe me when I say, they are wonderful humans, and have been model parents to both of their sons. Unfortunately, they made the mistake of loving their sons too much. If it weren't for their parents, the Mallory's son, Paul, wouldn't have learned to be a top salesman, running his own business. And his son, Mike, wouldn't have been able to claim a yearly business income of over 1,000,000. And all Mike's parents wanted was for Mike to make the payments as agreed upon...so that they would be able to relax, and enjoy their retirement without having to worry about finances, for once in their lives.

Bert Mallory still lives with, and loves, Mike's mom after 50+ years of marriage. He was a Minister for years, while he drove a bread truck from 3am until O'dark:30 every evening; and sold Watkins Products on the side, to feed his family. Evelyn worked off and on (mostly on), performing secretarial/administrative duties, while raising their children. They also took in other children, children who weren't as fortunate as their sons... into their home and their hearts...because that was the type of people they were, and still are today. They always showed love and understanding of their children. And that didn't change when they became adults.

Evelyn Mallory is a true Christian woman, who has always lived by example for everyone she comes into contact with. She would never turn her head to a person down on his/her luck. She has never refused to stand by her husband when his family needed help...which was quite often. She has never refused to open her home to anyone in need. She is the first to love, or to forgive, and the last to judge.

Mike's parents were depending on the payments for the business they sold to him, in order to make their retirement years as comfortable as possible. The very last thing they wanted to do was to be forced to depend on their sons for anything. But Mike and Chelle let them down.

And because they lost the business, Mike's father, who is near 70 yrs of age, has been forced to deliver newspapers in the middle of the night, on a dangerous mountain road, to make ends meet. His mother, Evelyn, has been caring for two elderly woman, who cannot care for themselves, to help out.

I was informed by a source close to the family, that both of Mike's sons volunteered, and passed a polygraph in this matter. However, Mike's wife, ROCHELLE, decided against taking one. It seems that she had some type of heart problem that provided her with the 'perfect' excuse. And authorities aren't able to force her to take one.

Interesting, to say the least.

[doilookstupid2u]

Dear Nut;

I realize you are hoping for the best ending scenario for this story...but the story's over and it didn't end well for Mike's parents. Mike AND Chelle Mallory have been recently spotted by neighbors, at Mike's home in Glide, helping his wife Chelle pack their belongings into a Uhaul truck as fast as humanly possible, to attempt to avoid being spotted by any friends or family, or worst...the local police. But the difference between other sightings and this one...where Mike was seen performing normal daily functions, i.e., walking, talking, eating, riding in a car...these people actually spoke with him. And they have been close neighbors who 'personally' know the entire Mallory family. They also reported that Mike AND Chelle made every attempt to avoid allowing these people to get too close to them, in fear of Mike being positively ID'd.

When the neighbors questioned Mike and Chelle about where they were planning to make their new home, Mike informed them that they were moving back to California, where he was raised.

This is so typical of Mike, running away from his problems...leaving his parents to clean up any mess he made. And you can be sure of one thing...this plan was designed by Mike's wife, Chelle. Not too surprising really, that Chelle continued to refuse to take the Polygraph. I'm not sure, however, if they told their sons that Mike was still alive and well. I say that because I was informed that both of the young men submitted to polygraph testing...and were cleared of any knowledge of a conspiracy in Mike's disappearance.

Mike has always been a 'foot soldier' in the marriage, even though, on condition of "keeping the information secret", during the year before he 'disappeared' Mike informed a former employee that he had been stashing money from the business for some time, in preparation to leave the country in a hurry when "things got too hot " in Roseburg. His plan was to return to Puerto Rico, where he and Chelle had spent numerous family vacations. But they went where Chelle decided they would go. And Mike will never leave Chelle for long. Hence, the numerous sightings of them together... in the car...at different venues in Glide and Roseberg, and finally...helping Chelle pack to leave the area, etc.

I guess things got a little 'hot' in Roseburg. It's just very sad that Michael left his parents hold the bag, again...and feeling like "they" somehow failed their son...in "their" role as parents. And they did...they gave him 'too much' love. Now they have to file for Bankruptcy, or lost their home and everything else they worked for, for the past 50 years.



I'm not sure if anyone on this site is aware of how the business got off the ground. Bert Mallory stood outside, in a small parking area near a gas station, next to an old 'bread truck' that had been converted into a "coffee-wagon-on-wheels", from 5am every morning until way past dark, 7 days a week with no time off for vacations, to sell a cup of fresh-brewed coffee to his customers. And Evelyn Mallory managed the books and ran errands for Bert, when she wasn't actively working her full-time job in the administrative offices at the Veterans Hospital in Roseburg. They should have had help for Bert, to give both of them some time to relax. But they couldn't afford that expense.

Finally, after years of the same routine, Bert was able to hire help, so that he only had to run to the business three or four times each day, to open the register at 5 am, make sure the employee situation was secure, check the ice level, water level, and cash level, etc....7 days a week...for years. And Evelyn continued her same routine.

Then age, health and strees factors caused Bert to slow down a bit...which affected his attitude at work, and at home. The stress also affected Evelyn, but she was tired too...and she had nothing left to give, to help Bert with his exhaustion. So, when Mike suggested buying and running the business, they sold the business to him and Chelle. At that time I think Gotta Hava Java was operating in 3 different location around the Roseburg area, and the Mallorys finally had the income they needed to live comfortably.

But that security was based on their son's agreement to pay the payments on the business...which, as we all know, was just a dream.

Missing Ore. man found OK at Mexico border
The Associated Press

Updated: 12/17/2009 10:42:18 AM PST

PORTLAND, Ore.—A southern Oregon man who vanished almost two years ago is alive.
Dwes Hutson, a spokesman with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, said Thursday that 52-year-old Michael Mallory has apparently been living in San Diego for eight months. He says Mallory was detained at the border this week while trying to return from a trip to Mexico.

Mallory was entered into a computer system as a missing person in March 2008, when his pickup was found crashed against a tree along a riverbank and the weekend receipts from his Roseburg coffee stand were gone.

According to news reports at the time, the coffee business had caused a family rift.

Hutson says Mallory was allowed to go home because he is not wanted by authorities.

SAN DIEGO, Cal. -- A Douglas County man has been located by patrol officers at the US/Mexico border after being deemed missing for nearly two years.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office began a missing person investigation after Michael Mallory's abandoned pickup was found over an embankment in Glide in March of 2008. For the past year-and-a-half, detectives have continued investigating the case of the missing 52-year-old, but Mallory was never located.

At about 11:30 on Wednesday night, the Sheriff's Office received a call from the US Customs and Border Protection Office's San Ysidro port of entry in San Diego, California. Mallory was detained there after he tried to get into the country from Mexico; officers at the border found he was entered into the NCIC computer system as a missing person.

According to the Border Patrol officer, Mallory said he has been living in the San Diego area for the past eight months. He recently traveled to Mexico and was returning to the United States.

KEZI 9 News Reporter Lindsey Doi will have more on the discovery of Mallory tonight at 6.
