WEST LINN POLICE LOCATE MISSING SUICIDAL WOMAN IN WILDERNESS PARK
Posted: November 20th, 2011 5:25 PM
Sunday November 20, 2011 at 2:27 P.M. the West Linn Police received a call from a man who said his wife was suicidal, and overdosed on prescription medication. He found her car parked in Wilderness Park, 22300 Clark St. in West Linn. She is 37 years old, and a West Linn resident.
Wilderness Park is 51.4 acres of steeply sloped land located in the Sunset Neighborhood. The park is mainly unimproved, with a series of trails throughout it.
Responding WLPD officers surrounded the park, and began to marshal resources to aid in the search. While the officers were calling for Search and Rescue (Clackamas County Sheriff) and a K-9 Team from Portland, they received information that the missing person was talking to a friend on the phone, and she was fading out. She told her friend she was in a field of ferns.
The officers all went into the park fearing that waiting for the additional resources would delay care for the victim too long.
At 3:14 P.M. West Linn Police Sergeant Burv Corbin walked into the park from the main parking area and located her in a clearing off Gloria Drive.
Firefighters from Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue and medics from AMR were able to get her out of the park and transported her to Legacy Meridian Park Hospital in Tualatin.
There is no more information available at this time.
