STEVENSON, Wash. (AP) — The Skamania County sheriff’s office says the search continues Wednesday for a canoeist missing on the Columbia River near Stevenson.
Fifty-five-year-old Jimmie Caldwell of Stevenson went canoeing around 1 a.m. Sunday and was reported missing later that morning by his wife.
Caldwell’s canoe and paddle were found about one mile downstream from his launch site.
Undersheriff Dave Cox told The Columbian it was not unusual for Caldwell to set out on the river in the middle of the night when the weather was clear.
