The sheriff’s office is investigating what it calls a suspicious death of a woman on a Forest Service Road near Morton.
Deputies were called about 1:30 a.m. by a resident on the 5900 block of state Route 508 who said a man came to her house to report he and his fiancee had been in a collision on Forest Service Road 73 and she was not breathing, according to the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office.
Aid and deputies arriving to the scene a couple of miles away found the 48-year-old Chehalis woman dead, according to the sheriff’s office.
Forest Service Road 73 begins at state Route 508 about two miles west of Morton.
The 32-year-old Randle man is being questioned, Chief Civil Deputy Stacy Brown said in a news release. He stated the couple had been “jumped” and the wreck happened when they were trying to get away, according to Brown.
The sheriff’s office is looking for a Kelso man they think might have information related to the investigation, according to Brown. He is 39-year-old Roger Etter.
Brown declined to say what detectives think Etter might know about the case, but is asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to call the sheriff’s office or Crime Stoppers.
An autopsy will be scheduled for the victim, according to the sheriff’s office.

Definetly meth looking suspect.
0130, Out in the woods, and someone of interest looks like he has meth mites.
Is it just me, or does this sound like a drug deal or affair gone bad?
Crazy eyes!!!!
Didn’t know the government locked down mountains!!
Good thing to know.
Not everything that happens is a meth head for gods sakes………….there are sick people out there that hear voices and it was not caused from meth. A mental condition is already there from the start, not caused from meth, look it up! My guess if your going to go the drug route would be heroin users they seem to have a worse problem, physically and mentally, when they are out of their dope. They seem to be the ones that do anything for their next hit, because they do not want to be sick. Then again it could be government! They are the ones that have all of these mountains locked up.
living in morton and seeing what goes on around here i would put my money on meth heads living in the woods and one stepped on the others toes. go hunting up in this area and look at all the semi permanent camps they are living in.
That’s crazy. I live in Morton. I hope he is found soon. Sounds a whole lot suspicious.
Can you please keep following up on your updates please? I really want to be kept informed.. thank you.
