Search Suspended for Missing Oregon Hiker and Her Two Dogs

Authorities halted efforts to locate Susan Lane-Fournier after four days, citing harsh weather and low chances of survival, but the investigation remains active.

  • Susan Lane-Fournier, 61, was reported missing on Nov. 22 after failing to show up for work, prompting a search in Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest.
  • Her white 1992 Ford F-250 was found near the Green Canyon Way Trail, where she is believed to have been hiking with her two Malinois-mix dogs.
  • Search and rescue teams covered over 100 miles of trails using drones, K-9 units, and dozens of volunteers, totaling more than 800 search hours.
  • The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office suspended the search on Nov. 26 due to poor weather conditions and low survivability but continues to investigate her disappearance.
  • Authorities are urging anyone with information about Lane-Fournier’s whereabouts or sightings in the week prior to her disappearance to come forward.
