11/19/25 - LCSO Case 25-5035   
  
Missing mushroom picker from Oakridge found deceased after lengthy search   
  
On November 19th at about 2 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue (SAR) located the body of Jean Fritz Pierre Louis, 76, of Oakridge, who went missing early last week in the Salmon Creek area east of Oakridge. Louis was located deceased in the bottom of a steep drainage, which required rope teams to access and recover him.   
  
Volunteers and deputies devoted over 1,000 hours to the search for Louis, which began with an intensive search on October 16th after he was reported missing. His vehicle was quickly located in the area. Searchers began tackling the incredibly rugged terrain on foot and horseback and using drones, K9s, and high-angle rope teams to access difficult areas. Searchers rappelled into multiple areas to search. Linn County SAR assisted with the search and recovery, as well as Eugene Mountain Rescue, which operates under Lane County Sheriff’s SAR.   
  
While not the outcome hoped for, we are thankful to our many dedicated volunteers and agency partners who continue to search for those missing in our county.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
