The search for a Portland man who went missing while hiking in Skamania County enters its seventh day today.
Air resources are expected to be used today during a search of the Big Lava Beds area, about 10 miles north of Cook, in an effort to find Kristopher Zitzewitz, 31, who went missing in the area after getting separated from his partner Saturday afternoon.
A search Thursday, which included ground searchers and a helicopter from King County Sheriff’s Office, did not locate Zitzewitz.
However, Skamania County Sheriff’s Office Undersheriff Dave Cox said the air resources would be deployed this morning to perform an “extensive low level aerial search.”
