James "Jake" Dutton, 5'10" tall, 180lb, 31 year old former Coast Guardsman parked his 1998 Nissan pickup truck near the Cougar Reservoir on June 15th, 2012 and headed up the French Pete Trail towards the Three Sisters Wilderness in the Oregon Cascade Mountain Range.
Jake was never seen or heard from again.
There is unfortunately no clothing description for Jake and his Missing Persons case has been removed from nearly every database in the area due to Law Enforcement rushing to conclusions about a body that was recovered in the area a few years after Jake's disappearance.
While some news reports will state that Jake's body was recovered, the State Medical Examiner for Oregon at the time, realized six months after the body was recovered that it was not that of Jake Dutton.
What happened to Jake?
