Point Hope, Oregon (KGWA): Point Hope Police Departnt is seeking the public’s help to find a missing fire watcher, Brian Greeley, 47, who was last seen more than two weeks ago on Monday, September 4th, on the Frog Creek lookout at McLaren National State Forest. His last contact with the Forestry Departnt Head was in the early hours of Saturday, September 23rd, when he reported an ergency broadcast on the radio before communications were inexplicably cut off.
PHPD and the National Park Services (NPS) have scoured through the Frog Creek Lookout to find the tower collapsed due to an unknown fire. Fortunately, the fire had not spread to the surrounding forest due to damp weather conditions. Blood belonging to Brian Greeley has been confird, and the local police and NPS has designated the area as an active cri scene. They consider Brian Greeley is still alive but potentially injured.
At this ti, there is no other information available, but the police said they would post an update once more information becos available.
Update (09/30/2023): Five days after being reported missing, Brian Greeley’s body has been found eleven miles north of the Frog Creek Lookout by four TikTok and Twitch stears, including popular YouTuber and vlogger, Dylan Griffin, 21, visiting the local area. Chilling photos of Greeley’s remains erged online, posted by Griffin and co., which had accrued over three million views since it was posted yesterday and received backlash online.
“Local police authorities are investigating. This is heartbreaking news, and all forestry officials have reached out to his ex-wife, his children, and his extended family to offer support and assistance,” Susan Machins, a fellow colleague of Greeley’s, said in an official statent from the forestry departnt.
PHPD spokesperson, Fernand Blompkin, said in a press conference this morning that they were “analyzing evidence to establish the facts, conditions, and causes of death,” which they described as either a possible homicide or an animal attack.
The Greeley family had requested the video be taken down. The hikers are cooperating fully on the investigation with the NPS and PHPD. Blompkin has urged local residents and tourists to be cautious and keep a lookout when venturing into McLaren Forest when rumors begin to spread online of an endangered wild predator stalking the area.
This is an active investigation.
