Finding Johnson, Jr.
At approximately 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 21, Deschutes County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a vehicle over the cliff in the Deschutes River Canon near Lower Bridge Way. The deputies arrived and determined a single male occupant of the vehicle was deceased. The vehicle was located over 100 feet down the slope below a 50-foot cliff.
Due to the terrain, Deschutes County Search and Rescue were called out to recover the body. For safety reasons, the recovery was delayed until this morning.
On Sunday, May 22, 21 Search and Rescue volunteers and two Special Services deputies assisted investigators with recovering the body of the deceased. The recovery involved a ropes system to raise the body to the top of the canyon.
Deschutes County Sheriff's Detectives continue to investigate the vehicle incident in cooperation with other agencies, including the FBI, Warm Springs Police Department and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Johnson, Jr., 33 and Rhoan,30, were both members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
