The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office stated that the men, who had ventured into the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, likely died from exposure due to the harsh weather and their lack of proper preparation. The area is known for being a hotspot for Sasquatch folklore, with many believing the mythical creature roams the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.
The men were reported missing on Christmas Day at around 1 a.m. after they failed to return from their Christmas Eve expedition. The search team, which included 60 volunteers and K9 units, conducted a three-day search using drones, ground teams, and infrared technology from the Coast Guard. The vehicle they had used was eventually located near Oklahoma Road on the southern edge of the national forest, thanks to camera recordings.
The men were found in a remote, densely wooded area of the forest, approximately 150 miles northeast of Portland.
