Remains Of Man Who Fled Officers Found

Human remains found Friday evening in the area of Dry Creek in the Trapper Creek Wilderness Area about 16 miles north of Carson have been identified as those of a 24-year-old Sunriver man who had been suspected of stealing a truck last month and fled on foot in the Government Mineral Springs area after a high speed pursuit.  The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says a hiker found the remains of Joshua A. Brown.  Deputies and Wind River Search & Rescue, Silver Star Search & Rescue, and Clark County Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue personnel retrieved the body early Saturday morning after navigating through waist deep snowdrifts and several downed trees.  Brown was the suspected driver of a stolen truck involved in a high speed pursuit on March 20 in an area that was snowbound and reachable only by snowshoe or snowmobile during the winter months.
