Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue has located two missing men in recent days.

A DCSO report said 61-year-old Darwin Trimnell of Myrtle Creek was reported missing after not returning to his hunting party on Thursday, October 30th around 9:00 p.m. A deputy initiated a SAR call out and responded to the area of Jackson Creek and South Umpqua Road in south county. Trimnell was entered as a missing person. SAR conducted a second search on Friday morning and located the man in good health.

Sunday evening at approximately 5:00 p.m. a towing company received third hand information about a man who had been stuck in the woods for four days and was needing a tow. They were given coordinates, name, vehicle type and directions. When the towing company couldn’t find 72-year-old Darrell Graham of Eugene, they called DCSO, requesting a welfare check. A deputy tried calling the original reporting party, but they didn’t answer. The deputy determined that the coordinates and directions were completely off but eventually found Graham in the China Saddle area of the Umpqua National Forest. The man was fine with waiting until Monday morning to get a tow.  The towing company was given the proper coordinates.

Information from DCSO was released on Monday afternoon.
