BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — An elderly mushroom picker from Beaverton, Oregon, was reported missing in Skamania County north of Carson — the second missing picker in less than two weeks.
The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office is looking for 78-year-old Richard Sugai.
He was picking with family members when he disappeared Saturday.
He was reportedly prepared for rain but has a medical condition that requires daily medication.
Adjoining picking and hunting camps have been notified, but no sign of Sugai as of Tuesday morning.
Jung VanAtta, 74, disappeared in Skamania County northwest of Stevenson the previous Saturday. She was found three days later.
