Portland hiker still missing in Skamania
Kathrine Huether went for a hike on Thursday

By
Post-Record staff

A ground and air search continues this morning for a Portland woman who has been missing since Thursday evening after she went for a hike at the Pacific Crest trail head near the Bonneville Dam in Skamania County.

Since Sunday morning, an intensive search of a 12-square-mile area within the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, just north of the Bonneville Dam, using ground and air support has been conducted for 24-year-old Kathrine Huether. On Sunday afternoon, a credit card receipt with Huether's name on it was found by a hiker on Table Mountain.

A helicopter from the U.S. Coast Guard and one from the Washington Air National Guard assisted with search efforts on Monday, in addition to nine K-9 search and rescue teams and five additional ground search teams of approximately 50 personnel, according to a press release from the Skamania County Sheriff's Office.

No additional clues indicating Huether's whereabouts have been found.

At approximately 3 p.m. on Thursday, Huether sent a text message to a friend saying that she was at a trail head getting ready to begin a short hike and would return by 8 p.m. that evening.
