KARISSA FRETWELL: Bodies found in area where suspect Michael Wolfe often recreated, district attorney says | Salem Reporter
It's unclear exactly what led detectives to search the area. Berry and officials from the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office said they had searched the area previously and had come within 800 yards of the bodies in those searches.
Berry said a gun has also been recovered, but could not say where or how it was recovered in relation to the discovery of the bodies.
The property is private land owned by timber company Weyerhaeuser, which permits people to fish, hike and chop firewood, Berry said. He said Wolfe had often done such activities on that land.
The location is ultimately about 10 miles northwest of the city of Yamhill, where Northwest Turner Creek Road turns into a gravel road and leads into Weyerhaeuser's private roads.
