The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday suspended the search for a mushroom picker who has been missing for ten days. 78-year-old Richard Sugai of Beaverton was reported missing by family members on October 19 after a day of mushroom picking on the Forest Service 60 Road north of Carson. Undersheriff Pat Bond said officers conducted another search over the weekend, but were met with negative results. Family members issued a statement through the Sheriff’s Office, thanking searchers and saying while they never want to give up hope, with each passing day they believe they have been transitioning from a mission of rescue to one of recovery. Anyone who may have information on Sugai’s disappearance is asked to contact the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office.
