I read that the authorities in Washington State are investigating the disappearance of a C177B in mountainous terrain. It was first thought that the aircraft had crashed. However, the authorities now believe the pilot may be trying to hide. He's a convicted sex offender and took his dog and two years supply of dog food.Any further information on this?

I feel sorry for the dog.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

The guy rented the 177 from an FBO on the field where my airplanes are. I think hikers will have to stumble upon him now.http://www.kirotv.com/news/13404262/detail.html
