 Zoe Dorsey, 4, disappeared from her home Tuesday afternoon.
“It’s like she just disappeared into thin air,” said one volunteer
searcher returning to the command base at the top of Mountain Drive.
Search crews from four different counties continued to arrive at
the scene as darkness fell, and plans were already underway to launch a
massive search in the morning.
Authorities began searching for the Zoe at about 3 p.m. Wednesday
after receiving a 911 call from the parents. The family lives near the
highest point of Mountain Drive, a long, steep winding mountain road
that begins about two miles up the north bank of the Chetco River.

Gold Beach police will soon have video cameras attached to their shirts.
The City Council last week approved using a grant from their
insurance carrier, CityCounty Insurance Services (CIS), to purchase a
recorder for each officer.
“When I first presented this to CIS, the agent who came here was so
thrilled he called for additional information,” Police Chief P.J. Janik
told the council.
A few days later, Janik said the insurance company told him it was a
great tool for not only Gold Beach officers, but for other police
agencies.
“Our insurance company was thrilled with it and was willing to buy it,” Janik said.
“The technology is so new,” Janik said. “It started two months ago.
We were with an ODOT enforcement vendor, trying to get me up to speed
on new products.”
