Missing 19-Year-Old Duck Hunter (Photo) - 01/14/19

Update Monday 01/14/2019: At this time, we have conducted a large search with our Search and Rescue (SAR), Clatsop County Marine patrol division (boats) and US Coast Guard boats and helicopter which also used FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) for heat sources throughout the night to no avail. We are still hoping for the best but this is a large and often treacherous river with winter conditions. The family has been notified the search was suspended based on what has been located and have been very cooperative. I wish I had better news, but again we have not been able to locate the young man.

Thank you. Sheriff Tom
