Police have arrested and charged a man with the murder of his wife, whose body was found in a remote part of Oregon on Friday, seven days after she went missing while hiking with her two dogs.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said that on Saturday its deputies arrested Michel Fournier, 71, with the murder of Susan Lane-Fournier, 61. He is being held in a county jail with no bail on a charge of second-degree murder.
The body of Lane-Fournier who went by the name "Phoenix" was found in remote wilderness of Welches, an unincorporated community at the foot of Mount Hood, east of Portland. An autopsy conducted Saturday concluded the cause of death was homicide.
The discovery was made after more than 800 search hours involving dozens of officers, K9s and volunteers scouring more than 100 miles of trail. Her two Malinois-mix dogs have also separately been found dead, the sheriff's office said.

(14,308 posts)It really hit me last night that she almost killed me... I remember at the time I was trying to leave "defensive wounds" on her so if I disappeared, somebody might notice...
It's only been a month, and the concept of how close I came to death is still sinking in.
