Written by Andrew-Rossi on September 17, 2018
Searchers in Washakie County have found the body of a man who went missing over a week ago while hunting.
Washakie County Sheriff Steve Rakness says Richard Morris Rush, of Worland, apparently crashed his all-terrain vehicle while camping in the Bighorn Mountains. Foul play is not suspected.
The Northern Wyoming Daily News reports that family and friends began to worry when he didn’t return home Sept. 9, and searchers began looking for Rush on Wednesday. They found his pickup truck, hunting gear and camper but not his ATV.
Searchers found his body Friday, and an autopsy is pending.
