At about 1:30pm on June 22nd, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office was notified Marjorie Ann Gray’s vehicle was located in the Mosby Creek Area, east of Cottage Grove. Her vehicle was found by people working in the area. Gray had been listed as missing since June 17th.   

Lane County Sheriff’s deputies and Search & Rescue (SAR) personnel responded. Gray’s vehicle had become stuck in the trees at the end of a gravel logging road, more than ten miles behind a private gate. SAR volunteers deployed ground crews and were aided by an OSP search canine. Gray was found deceased several hundred yards from her vehicle in steep terrain. 

This case is still being investigated, but there is no indication of any crime at this time.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Oregon State Police, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, and the Lorane community members who came out to assist in the search.
