David Foster Tilton, 60, was last seen in Trout Lake, Washington, on June 9, 2015, one day before he was scheduled to surrender to the FBI in Yakima on federal charges. The indictment named three counts related to child pornography. The night before he vanished, Tilton told others he planned to spend the night in the forest and return in the morning but did not.

The Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI both concluded he was likely fleeing prosecution; the FBI did not consider him dangerous at the time. On June 13 his vehicle was found abandoned in Skamania County near the Pacific Crest Trail in Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Air and ground searches of the area turned up no sign of him, and investigators treated the situation differently because they believed he was intentionally hiding rather than a routine search-and-rescue.

If anyone saw David Tilton around Trout Lake, the Pacific Crest Trail, or Gifford Pinchot National Forest in early June 2015, please share what you know.
