Human Remains Found In Northern Skamania County

The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after detectives responding to a report of suspicious circumstances on a forest road in the northern part of the county discovered a deceased person.  Sheriff Dave Brown says the investigation on Forest Road 83 about six miles east of Cougar is in its very early stages, and there is no additional information at this point.  Officers found the body Thursday afternoon, and with diminishing daylight the area was secured overnight to allow the scene to be processed this morning.  The investigation efforts will cause traffic delays on forest road 83 and will impact recreational traffic to the Ape Cave as well as the Marble Mountain Sno-Park which provides access to the climbing route for Mt. St. Helens.
