Ex-governor's grandson missing during Oregon search
Ex Louisiana governor Dave Treen canceled campaign appearances to join a search for his 20 year old grandson Jason Neville who vanished on a two day hike in the Columbia Gorge. About twenty searchers combed steep wooded trails as Treen postponed runoff campaigning in Louisiana against David Vitter. Treen said securing his grandson's return took priority over the election.
