PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A search has resumed in Southern Oregon for a couple and their adult son who disappeared after leaving a campground to pick mushrooms.

Belinda and Daniel Conne (KON’), both 47, and their 25-year-old son, Michael, were last seen Sunday at a campground near Gold Beach where they had been living in a camper.

Their Jeep was found on a logging road but there has been no sign of them.

Joe Dykes, who works at the campground, says Belinda and Daniel Conne arrived there in July, and their son arrived later.

Belinda Conne worked at Jot’s Resort motel in Gold Beach as a housekeeper.

Jot’s owner Virginia McKinney says the Connes were preparing to rent a home in Gold Beach before they disappeared.
