Woman Missing After Not Returning To Camp In Pinchot Forest

The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says a 58-year-old Native American woman was reported missing after not returning to her camp over the weekend in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest near the Sawtooth Berry Fields.  According to the Sheriff’s Office, Victoria Atkins did not return to camp at a pre-arranged time on Saturday, and after her friends searched for her the rest of the weekend, reported her missing to Yakama Tribal Police after returning to the Yakima area on Monday.  Skamania County Search and Rescue searched on Tuesday and Wednesday with fixed-winged aircraft, infrared, and ground searches, and but could not locate the woman.  Atkins is five-feet-five inches tall, and weighs 120 pounds, with brown eyes and gray hair.  She was last seen wearing a black sweater, blue jeans or sweatpants, and a “colorful” tank top.  The Sheriff’s Office says search efforts for Atkins have been suspended temporarily, but will resume in another coordinated, large-scale effort to locate her.
