YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a 54-year-old grandmother of two who went missing during an annual hippie gathering in a Washington forest.
Marie Hanson’s family fears she may have been a victim of foul play.
The South Lake Tahoe, Calif. woman was last seen July 6. She had traveled with neighbors to the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to attend the annual gathering of the Rainbow Family of Living Light.
The Rainbow Family is a group of peace activists borne from the ’60s counter-culture movement. Hanson had never attended a gathering and made a spontaneous decision to go.
Her family reported her missing after the neighbors called to say they hadn’t seen her. She was last seen wearing a pink and white tank top, cut-off shorts and black and white tennis shoes.
