The Clackamas County Sheriff's Search and Rescue teams have entered the third consecutive day of searching for missing hiker, Robert Bissell, in the Roaring River Wilderness of the Mount Hood National Forest. Robert Bissell, a 57 year old Portland Oregon resident, went camping and hiking alone in the remote wilderness area of the Rock Lakes basin on July 12th 2010. When he did not return home his family reported him missing on July 24th.
Today, with the help of Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue, Mountain Wave Search and Rescue, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Mounted Posse, AMR Reach and Treat Team, Yamhill County Sheriff' Canine Search and Rescue and the American Red Cross the Clackamas County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team is expanding the search to additional trails, nearby lakes, streams and wilderness area possibly travelled by Mr. Bissell. Aircraft have flown the area in search patterns the last two days and are on standby today for further operations.
We are asking anyone who was hiking near the Rock Lakes basin in the Mount Hood National Forest from July 12, 2010 to July 24, 2010 to please view the included photographs of Robert Bissell, his car, and his campsite.
Mr. Bissell's 1989 Nissan Sentra was located at the Shell Rock Lake Trailhead, Trail #700 in the Mount Hood National Forest. Mr. Bissell's campsite was located off Trail #512 in the Rock Lakes basin of the Mount Hood National Forest.
Mr. Bissell's hair and beard are gray in color and longer than depicted in the attached photo.
Anyone who has had personal contact with Mr. Bissell in this remote area since July 12th 2010 please contact the Clackamas County Sheriff Tip Line at (503) 723-4949.
The Clackamas County Sheriff is currently working and active Search and Rescue in the area of the Roaring River Wilderness, Rock Lakes basin, Serene Lake and Shining Lake areas of the Mount Hood National Forest. Access to these areas is currently limited and the Clackamas County Sheriff would like you to avoid entering those areas while search members are in the field.
Thank you,
