PE ELL, Wash. (AP) — Lewis County rescuers have been kayaking a 3-mile stretch of the Chehalis River in hopes of finding any sign of a rafter who disappeared over the weekend.
Daniel Kuhn was rafting with several other people as part of the annual Pe Ell River Run on Saturday. He fell behind his group, and told them he’d meet them downriver. When he didn’t show up by 8 p.m., his friends thought he might have left with other people. They didn’t realize he was missing until Monday afternoon.
The 24-year-old from Olympia was last seen in a small rubber raft near the Elk Creek Road Bridge.
Members of the Chehalis Fire Department’s Swift Water Rescue Team were out in kayaks to look for him Tuesday, and sheriff’s deputies are following other leads to determine whether he left the area.
