Lewis County sheriff’s detectives are examining the scene on Riffe Lake where a body was found last evening.
The find on the shore’s edge of the East Lewis County lake was reported about 6 p.m. last night by boaters, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff’s Cmdr. Steve Aust said it is badly decomposed and they have no idea who it is.
“We can’t tell if its a male or a female but it does appear to be an adult,” Aust said.
Deputies had to access the area, in a remote cove on the northwest portion of the lake, by boat, according to Aust. Detectives began processing the scene about 7 o’clock this morning, he said.
The west end of the 17-mile lake is about two and a half miles east of Mossyrock.
