Access to the site was from Snout Creek Road to the 110 spur road, from the 110 spur road a trail followed down a ridge to the site where the camping gear was found. The gear was strewn over an area of about 75 feet.
It appeared that a bear had removed the contents from the pack in search of food. All the canned food items had been opened by bear, and majority of everything else including the pack had been damaged. The tent was not erected and the tent poles were still in the pack.
Items recovered by Curry County Sheriff's Office on Oct 14, 1989 were: Wallet with Oregon driver license, Univ of Oregon ID Card, and other misc cards and papers, $31 in cash; mitten; tent; sleeping bag; backpack; 2 tarps; 2 books; coat; shirt; pants; towel; t-shirt; raincoat; rain pants; pair of shoes; pair of socks; stocking hat; coat hood; screwdriver; axe; 3 pots; misc cooking utensils.

*** Carolann Payne - #MP7491
Missing From: La Pine, OR
(approx. a 3.5-hour drive from Josephine Co.)
Missing Age: 35
DLC: August 1, 1985
Height: 5'0" - 5'1" (60 - 61 inches)
Hair Color: Blond/Strawberry
Circumstances: Joel Terrence Abbott was convicted of Payne's murder in 1993 and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. He was initially convicted of aggravated murder, but the judge reduced the charge to intentional murder because he decided there was insufficient evidence that Abbott had kidnapped Payne, and kidnapping was necessary to sustain the aggravated murder charge.
Abbott was Payne's former boyfriend. People who knew him testified he had a violent temper around women, and he had previously assaulted Payne with a knife.
A friend of Abbott's who was a police informant secretly recorded him saying he'd shot Payne in the back and the head with a high-powered rifle. He told the same story to his ex-wife.
Prosecutors believe he "went to great lengths" to conceal Payne's body, which has never been found. Foul play is suspected in her case due to the circumstances involved. (per
