Since Patti Disappeared
65 year old Skagit County resident Patricia "Patti" Krieger went missing on Saturday, October 2nd, 2010 while hiking on Sauk Mountain - near Rockport, Washington.
Patti had been hiking with her boyfriend (Larry Pressley), her Rottweiler (Bear), James Pressley, Nichole Gardner, Troy Robinson, Chrissy (Jones) Bumgarner, and Matt Robinson. They had been on the mountain that day to spread the ashes of Larry's deceased parents who had passed away several months earlier.
Circumstance Leading Up To Patti's Disappearance:
The group Patti was hiking with says that Patti became emotional after the ceremony and that she headed down a different trail than the rest of the hikers. They say they figured the trails would reconnect and that they would meet Patti and her dog Bear back at the trail head. Patti and Bear never showed up. Her cell phone and driver's license were found to be in possession of the individuals that she was hiking with and it is unclear if there were any other personal items in Patti's possession at the time of her disappearance.
The Search For Patti
Search and rescue teams, from four counties, were brought in and over 50 searchers scoured the mountain looking for Patti and came up with nothing. The next day, the Skagit County Sheriffs office brought in a helicopter with F.L.I.R technology and they too were unable to locate Patti. Twenty Six days later, Patti's dog Bear was found near mile marker four on Sauk Mountain Road.
