On March 13, 2019 at about 1204 pm, the Columbia County Sheriff's Office received a call from a reporting person that she had located the body of a female on the side of Neer City Rd in Rainier, Oregon. Investigators from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office, the St. Helens Police Department, Scappoose Police Department and the Oregon State Police are on scene investigating. I will update the details as I am able.
***UPDATE******
We have a tentative ID on the body found on Neer City Rd. We are withholding the identification until family has been notified.
