Laura N. Macke, 35, was last seen October 30, 2022, in Quinault, Washington, after traveling from Vermont to hike solo in Olympic National Park. She had a backcountry permit for October 30–31 to camp at Pyrites Creek and planned to hike to the Enchanted Valley; she told family she might return November 1 but never checked in.

Her white 2021 Kia Sportage was found at the Graves Creek Trailhead, and a search began November 3 with ground teams and a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. Severe weather and a flood warning hampered efforts; up to 20 personnel searched main and side trails and planned drone searches with infrared. On November 10, searchers told the family that survivability was not expected and the large-scale search was suspended, though limited searching continued as conditions allowed.

No trace of Macke has been found and she is presumed deceased. If anyone was in Lake Quinault, Graves Creek, or Enchanted Valley between October 30 and November 1 and saw anything, please come forward with information.
