A body identified as 11 year old Susan Martin was found in a Columbia River slough near Camas, Wash, linking to the five month missing Ken Martin family of Portland. Police and investigators plan a new search through upriver canyons as they pursue the theory that the Martins’ car plunged into the Columbia or its tributaries. The dentist Dr. E A Waterman confirmed the identity by matching six fillings, and the clothing matched descriptions from family members. The cause of death remains undetermined.
