Sedro Woolley, Skagit County
1000 start for planned cadaver search in Skagit County: We responded with four cadaver teams, 11 personnel total. The perpatrator of a 20-year old homicide confessed and provided a location to the Sheriff's office. The dog teams were to assist in searching the area for human remains. The weather was in the 40's with a steady rain and light breeze. The search area was generally steep with a few level areas. Joanne Varney with Hylee and Jacquie Bushway-Speer with Granite identified an area of notable interest from their dogs. A subsequent search of this area by a KC ESAR team located bones and cloth beneath the accumulated leaves. At this time, we are unaware if these are human, or if they are the homicide victim. (106.5 hrs)

Trailing teams worked from the vehicle. 1 airscent team walked along the west side road, one was sent to Poo-Poo point and the other was dispatched to another location. The subject eventually walked out on the SW corner of the mountain and reached a residence. She was in good condition. (51.5 hrs)
