Missing Seattle deputy fire chief, subject of massive search, found dead in mountains

The body of Seattle's deputy fire chief was found in the mountains Sunday, 12 days after he disappeared in eastern Washington, officials said.

The body of Seattle Deputy Fire Chief Jay Schreckengost, 56, was discovered near Cliffdell, about a half-mile from where his pickup truck was parked on Nov. 2, when he went scouting for elk and didn’t return, the Kittitas County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

There was no preliminary evidence of suspicious activity or foul play,” officials said.

The Kittitas County Coroner will confirm the chief’s cause of death.

My son works with him. He said the first week he was missing, his department was really struggling with worry. I will probably call my son tonight to see how he is doing. My son said the chief has a wonderful family.
