Two men, aged 37 and 59, were found dead in Gifford Pinchot National Forest after going missing while hunting for Sasquatch. Authorities concluded their deaths were due to exposure to harsh weather conditions and being unprepared. The pair was reported missing by family members when they did not return from their Christmas Eve outing. A significant search operation was launched, involving the Skamania County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Coast Guard, and numerous volunteers. The sheriff’s office commended the efforts of the volunteers during difficult weather conditions, expressing condolences to the families of the deceased.
