Missing Oregon man found dead in creek

04/16/2008

Associated Press

A body recovered from a creek in southwest Washington has been identified through dental records.

The Columbia County sheriff's office says Gabriel Triplett was 23 and from Rainier, Oregon. He was reported missing February 28, last seen in Longview.

Authorities say an autopsy showed no sign of trauma.

Two boys discovered the body Saturday.

Triplett's mother, Alice, has said her son liked to meditate at Goble Falls on the creek, which is not far from their home.
