 The truck owned by 62-year old retired high school counselor Keith Anderson, who has missing since January 6, was discovered overnight in a remote area of Skagit County, according to a statement Saturday morning by Anacortes Police Chief Bonnie Bowers.
Bowers also said Anacortes Police detectives, Skagit County Sheriff's deputies and Search & Rescue volunteers are on scene this morning searching for Anderson in an area northeast of Darrington.
His vehicle was discovered on a remote logging road, according to Bowers, who added, "Nothing in the vehicle suggested that foul play was involved."
A detective from Anacortes spent part of the past week in Snohomish County following connections Anderson may have had down there, including trying to locate a person that Anderson had expected to meet with the day he disappeared.
Anderson was a counselor at Anacortes High School until he retired in June, 2008. Reports of his disappearance prompted dozens of comments on AnacortesNow.com from friends, family and admirers.
According to the original Police Department missing person report, he left his home without his cell phone or prescribed medications. Anderson has a history of depression and medical
problems, police said.
Brian Geer, local head of the Red Cross, had organized a one-day grass-roots search last Saturday, Jan. 16, which failed to turn up any clues. But, the 4 dozen or so people did place missing person flyers in local businesses in the northern Snohomish and eastern Skagit county areas.
