Oregon

Winston Arthur “Wint” Maxey III was a teenage boy from Idaho whose story remained unresolved for decades. He was only 15 years old when he left Boise in 1971 and headed toward the Oregon coast. Like many young people, Winston appeared to be looking for opportunity, independence, and a future that felt bigger than the life he already knew. He had heard that there might be work available along the coast, and Coos Bay, Oregon, became the place he planned to reach.
