Body believed to be that of missing Everett man: Authorities in Cannon Beach, Ore., believe a body found in a wooded area there belongs to an Everett man who was reported missing early last year.

A mushroom picker discovered the skeletal remains Thursday on a hillside near U.S. 101. Search and rescue volunteers combing the site Friday found a wallet containing identification for Richard A. Maki of Everett.

Clatsop County sheriff’s detective Kristen Hanthorn said Maki was reported missing by relatives in Everett in February 2002 to Everett police. He was 50 at the time.

The body was taken to the state medical examiner, who is working with Maki’s relatives to make a positive identification, Hanthorn said. The cause of death has not yet been determined.

At the time of his disappearance, Maki was reportedly upset over the death of his brother, whose funeral had taken place a week earlier, Hanthorn said.

Relatives told investigators that Maki, his brother and parents had vacationed in Cannon Beach when he was young. Maki was not married and had no children.

Maki was the full-time caretaker for his mother and his brother, both of whom had multiple medical problems. His mother died about a year before his brother.

Maki had become reclusive and seldom left his home, Everett police spokesman Boyd Bryant said at the time he went missing.
