Marion County Sheriff's deputies are organizing a search for three teens who failed to return home after a day-trip to the snow on Tuesday.
Daniel Yoder, 19 of Salem, is driving a white 1994 Subaru Legacy station wagon, ORE license WDX 075. Sometime around 12:30pm, Tuesday, Yoder picked up two friends; Tyler Cain, 21 and Faith Moen, 19, of Silverton. The three had talked about going to play in the snow, but they didn't tell anyone of their specific destination.
When the three failed to return home by Wednesday evening, their parents called authorities.
Early this morning, deputies began searching the foothills of the Cascades, checking obvious snow locations like Silver Falls Park and Crooked Finger Road. They were able to track a cell phone carried by the trio to a cell tower near Crooked Finger Road.
At this time, we have not established a command post, and have no further information to release. Resources are being called in to assist with the search, but the exact number of deputies involved s not known at this time.
If anyone has information about the possible whereabouts of the trio, they are asked to call the Marion County Sheriff's Office at 503.588.5032.
More information will be released as it becomes available.
