Deputies search Pitcher Canyon area for missing girl

WENATCHEE A helicopter for the Chelan County Sheriffs Department was being used this morning to search for a 17-year-old girl missing since Tuesday night.
Sheriffs department spokesman Jerry Moore said investigators launched the helicopter search for McKenzie Cowell of Orondo over an area surrounding Pitcher Canyon. The air search followed unsuccessful search efforts Tuesday night by deputies on foot with a sheriffs department tracking dog.
Residents in the canyon found Cowells car parked in their driveway around 10 p.m. Tuesday. They reported spotting womens clothing and a purse inside the car. Sheriffs deputies tracked the cars registration to Cowells parents, who said the 17-year-old was past curfew for the night.
Cowells 17-year-old boyfriend, who arrived on the scene with Cowells parents Tuesday night, said he and the girl had exchanged text messages around 4 p.m. that day, Moore said.
Anyone with knowledge of Cowells whereabouts or tips regarding the case is asked to call 667-6848.
