Two Oregon men were tragically found dead in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington state after a trip to search for Sasquatch, authorities reported.
The victims, aged 59 and 37, apparently succumbed to exposure, a conclusion confirmed by the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff's office cited adverse weather and the men's lack of preparedness as contributing factors to their deaths.
The search for the two men began after a family member reported them missing around 1 a.m. on Christmas Day, following their failure to return from an outing on Christmas Eve. A significant search operation ensued, involving over sixty volunteer search-and-rescue personnel who utilized canine, drone, and ground teams. The Coast Guard also assisted by deploying infrared technology for aerial searches.
The men were located in a remote area approximately 150 miles northeast of Portland, near a vehicle found off Oklahoma Road close to Willard, marking the southern boundary of the national forest.
Authorities highlighted the folkloric nature of Sasquatch, believed by some to inhabit the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, further emphasizing the peculiar circumstances surrounding this unfortunate incident. See more at Los Angeles Times, Independent, and CNN.
