The Skamania County Sheriff's Office reported that the men went missing on Christmas Eve, with the search for them beginning around 1 a.m. on Christmas Day. Authorities indicated that both men likely died from exposure due to weather conditions and being ill-prepared for their outing. Their bodies were discovered in a heavily wooded area of the forest following a three-day search effort.
