UPDATE
Statement from Mount Rainier National Park:
Rangers searching for a missing hiker located his body about a mile from the Kautz Creek trailhead late Wednesday morning. Rangers followed a single set of tracks in the snow to an elevation of 4200 feet. The tracks then descended east of the trail to about 3000 feet, where the body was found.
Devin Ossman, 45, of Mukilteo, is believed to have arrived in the park Monday morning for a day hike. Ossman was not planning to be out overnight and was dressed lightly in blue jeans, a flannel shirt and jacket.
A ranger noticed Mr. Ossman’s car parked at Kautz Creek late Monday and upon investigation discovered his wife had reported him missing to the Mukilteo Police Department that afternoon. With daylight dwindling there was time for only a cursory search of the area.
By Wednesday morning the search had expanded to include more than 20 National Park Service staff with helicopter support from Northwest Helicopter Company in Olympia. German Shepherd Search Dogs of Washington out of Pierce County assisted with two dog teams.
