More than 13 years after Maureen Leianuhea “Anu” Kelly disappeared in Washington, questions remain about what happened to the 19-year-old near the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Kelly, a Vancouver, Washington, native, was last seen on June 9, 2013, after leaving a campsite near Canyon Creek Campground, according to the supplied report. People who were with her reportedly said she intended to begin a personal spiritual journey and entered the surrounding wilderness carrying a small fanny pack with limited supplies.
When Kelly did not return, her companions contacted the Skamania County Sheriff's Office. A search effort followed, involving law enforcement officers, search-and-rescue teams, tracking dogs and volunteers.
Searchers covered parts of the forest's difficult terrain. The supplied report states that footprints believed to be consistent with Kelly's were found, but no confirmed evidence has established what happened after she entered the wilderness.
Kelly's disappearance remains unresolved, and her whereabouts are unknown based on the information provided. No confirmed explanation for her disappearance has been established.
The case continues to affect her family, friends and others who hope to learn what happened. Anyone with relevant information should contact the Skamania County Sheriff's Office or the appropriate authorities.
