One of three people who went missing in the Oregon Columbia Gorge on Sunday evening was identified as a Vancouver man.

Dennis Rabikin, 24, of Vancouver and Olga Kozinskiy, 24, of Portland walked out of the wilderness near Angel’s Rest at about 2:45 a.m., according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. Both were uninjured.

When authorities received a 911 call about the lost hikers Sunday evening, search and rescue volunteers were already in the area looking for a missing mushroom picker, Katherine McKinnon, 40, of Portland.

McKinnon reportedly went missing at about 5:30 p.m. Sunday in the area of Larch Mountain, just east of Portland. Additional volunteers were called to help search for Rabikin and Kozinskiy.

Searchers located McKinnon uninjured at 11:20 p.m. Sunday and continued to search for Rabikin and Kozinskiy on the Wahkeena Trailhead.

Rabikin and Kozinskiy were found about three hours later.
