A Tragic Discovery in Oregon s Wilderness
An inquiry was launched as soon as Susan Lane-Fournier’s body was discovered on Friday, November 29, close to East Highway 26 and East Miller Road. After the medical examiner’s office performed an autopsy, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the next day that the cause of death was homicide.
Two dead dogs that were thought to have been Lane-Fournier’s pets were discovered with her body. Authorities are attempting to verify the canines’ ownership after they were later moved to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.
The Search for Lane-Fournier
After not showing up for work on Friday, November 22, Lane-Fournier was reported missing. The idea that she had gone hiking in the Mt. Hood National Forest with her dogs was strengthened when her white 1992 Ford F-250 was found on Saturday, November 23, close to East Salmon River Road and the Green Canyon Way Trail.
When her body was discovered a week later, the search and rescue effort came to a tragic end.
Investigation and Arrest of Michel Fournier
On December 2, Lane-Fournier’s husband, Michel Fournier, was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder. He was then put into Clackamas County Jail. The investigation’s specifics have not yet been made public by the authorities, but rumors indicate that the pair was going through a divorce, with Lane-Fournier having filed for one only weeks prior to her disappearance.
Anyone who may have seen Michel Fournier in the days preceding and following Lane-Fournier’s disappearance is now being contacted by detectives in an effort to gather information. Anyone who has information is encouraged to come forward or provide an anonymous tip to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.
The community is grieving the loss of Susan Lane-Fournier, whose life was tragically cut short, as this devastating case continues to develop.
