The search involved more than 60 volunteers, including canine units, drone teams and ground searchers. A U.S. Coast Guard air asset equipped with infrared technology also assisted.
Search crews faced freezing temperatures, snow, heavy rain and rugged terrain. Despite the challenges, officials commended the volunteers for their dedication and expressed condolences to the victims’ families.
The victims’ vehicle was located near Willard, Washington, using footage from a newly installed law enforcement camera system. This led search teams to a heavily wooded area where the bodies were ultimately discovered.
While Bigfoot sightings are frequently reported, concrete evidence remains elusive. Skamania County even has a law protecting Sasquatch, penalizing harm to the creature with fines and possible jail time.
The names of the deceased have not yet been released. Authorities emphasized the importance of preparation and safety when venturing into remote wilderness areas.
