Father, son missing on hike found dead
The Chelan County Sheriff's Office said the bodies of two hikers — a father and 12-year-old son from Spokane — have been found in the Wenatchee National Forest.
The bodies were discovered after two backpacks belonging to 53-year-old Otto Vaclavek and his son, Max, were found on Dragontail Peak, which rises 8,800 feet. The Vaclaveks were expected back earlier last week.
More than 60 searchers and three helicopters combed a rugged wilderness area of Chelan County Saturday. The searchers included the father's co-workers from Spokane Valley-based outdoor outfitter Mountain Gear.
The search began Thursday.
Vaclavek's wife reported her husband and son missing on Wednesday. They left Spokane Sept. 15 with a three-day supply of food. No other details were available.
