Evidence Search for Possible Suicide DEM #99-ES011 March 3, 1999

The Unit was contacted by the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management at 1:30 P.M. on the 3^rd of March. The King County Police requested our assistance for an evidence search for a possible suicide of a 20 year old male in the Greenwater Area. They requested we meet at the search base on the FS 70 road 6 miles off Highway 410 at 8:00 A.M. Friday morning.

A callout was made and five members responded: Jeff Sharp, Dave Treber, Fran McFarland, Cheryl Wells and Kate Roberts. They met at the Cache at 7:00 A.M. on Friday morning and proceeded to the search base.

Upon arrival they were briefed by the King County Police; the subject's car had been found. They wanted our team and other search teams to make a visual search, and to also use probe polls to check in the snow for a couple of hundred feet around the vehicle. Later in the afternoon the search moved to the nearby banks of the White River. No evidence was found and the team was released to return home around 5:00P.M.
