Body of Vancouver boy, 16, who was reported missing seven months ago found Updated 3 hours ago
Nearly seven months after a 16-year-old Vancouver boy was reported missing, his body was found Thursday, according to a nonprofit working with the boy’s family. Tristan Huang’s body was found along the Columbia River downstream from the Interstate 205 Bridge, where he was last seen, Amy Walcott, from the nonprofit Oregon’s Vanished, said in a Facebook group dedicated to the boy. She said she was not sharing specifics about where he was found out of respect for the family’s wishes. “This is not the outcome anyone was hoping for — but it is bittersweet,” Walcott said on Facebook. “While this loss is incredibly painful, Tristan’s loved ones are no longer left in limbo with unanswered questions and the heartache of not knowing where he was. Now, they can begin the long journey toward healing.” Vancouver police detectives previously determined that Huang took an Uber toward the Glenn Jackson Bridge about 4:20 a.m. on Sept. 14, the day he went missing from his Ellsworth-area home. Although he was seen on camera walking up the trail toward the pedestrian path across the bridge, the footage does not show him crossing the bridge. Investigators feared he may have fallen or jumped into the river, the police department said. The Facebook page has since been flooded with messages from people remembering Huang as a kind and loving kid.
