Deputies with the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office are looking for a teen who said he went into the woods for a weeklong camping trip.
The parents of Evan Byman, 15, told emergency dispatchers Monday morning that their son left a note saying he was going camping for a week in nearby woods and that they shouldn’t come looking for him.
Byman is believed to be in the Eufala Heights and Harmony Creek area in Castle Rock, according to a Cowlitz sheriff’s office bulletin.
He is described as white, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 145 pounds. He has blond hair, blue eyes and is believed to be wearing black rubber boots. He may be carrying a 12-gauge shotgun and a sleeping bag.
