Two Portland men who had been looking for Sasquatch were found dead in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest Saturday, officials said.
A family member reported the two men missing around 1 a.m. Christmas Day after they didn’t return on Christmas Eve as expected, the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Facebook Saturday.
More than 60 volunteers helped look for the men, and the U.S. Coast Guard sent a helicopter.
The men, 59 and 37, were found dead on Dec. 28 in a wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the sheriff’s office said. They appeared to have died from exposure, the sheriff’s office said, “based on weather conditions and ill-preparedness.”
“The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office extends our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the loved ones lost in this tragic incident,” the sheriff’s office said.
