Cachers Make Gruesome Discovery
We have often worried about what we might find as we bushwhack off of various trails into dense woods and thickets. Our worst fears came true for several hikers who were geocaching on July 23rd at the base of Thomas Creek Bridge on the Oregon Coast. The hikers discovered the body of Michelle Ashlee Dickson who had been previously reported missing. The hikers were reportedly searching for the Grange Island cache.
According the Associated Press Dickson's body was identified by the Del Norte County Sheriff's office after hikers found it while geocaching Wednesday at the base of the Thomas Creek Bridge on the Oregon Coast.
Oregon State Police investigators, who are leading the probe, have labeled the case a suspicious death. Curry County Sheriff John Bishop says it is clear Dickson plunged from the bridge, but unclear whether she jumped or was dropped or thrown off.
Dickson has been missing since her burning car was found on the side of a road last week.
The police made an arrest yesterday of an aquaintance of Disckson's. Josiah Miller, 27, is a suspect in the case after authorities found blood in his car.
This is truly sad and we hope the proper charges are sought against Mr. Miller.
