Missing Anna Schmidt Found Deceased Near Tooth Rock on Friday - Ruled Accidental Death (Photo)

On November 11, 2016, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) deputies responded to a call that human remains had been discovered on a trail near the Tooth Rock Trailhead in the Columbia River Gorge. Search and Rescue (SAR) crews and MCSO detectives worked through the afternoon to recover the remains.

The remains were turned over to the Oregon State Medical Examiner's office for identification. On the afternoon of November 12, the remains were identified as those of 21-year-old Anna Schmidt, who was the focus of an MCSO search effort in late October. The Medical Examiner has determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma, and the manner of death was accidental.

Schmidt was reported missing on Wednesday October 19 to Portland Police but was last seen by her roommate on Sunday October 16. Schmidt is a hiker and her vehicle was located on October 20 in the Columbia River Gorge near Bonneville Dam.

There were no signs of foul play. Investigators were concerned that she may have gotten lost or injured hiking in the Gorge.

MCSO SAR personnel along with MCSO Trail Hornets and SAR resources from Washington County Sheriff's Office, Clatsop County Sheriff's Office, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, Hood River County Sheriff's Office, the FLIR Corporation and Portland Police Bureau air units, Pacific Northwest SAR, Portland Mountain Rescue, Mountain Wave SAR, the Crag Rats, and Northern Oregon SAR, and others searched over 150 miles of the trail system in the Columbia Gorge. Searches were conducted using ground, air, and K9 resources.

The search was suspended on October 23 after no sign of Anna had been located by searchers. MCSO SAR coordinators consulted with a Clackamas County EMS wilderness doctor, MCSO Command, and the Portland Police Bureau's Missing Persons Unit prior to making the decision to suspend search efforts.

Joint Statement from the Portland Police Bureau and the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office (Photo)

$

Over the past several days, the Portland Police Bureau has arrested in excess of 100 people for violating laws including Disorderly Conduct, Interfering with a Peace Officer, Attempted Assault on a Peace Officer and other criminal charges.

Those taken into custody for charges other than those related to the shooting on the Morrison Bridge (early Saturday morning) will have their first court appearance today at the Justice Center at 2:00 p.m. Nearly all of the criminal cases will not be charged and arraigned today. Due to the fluid nature of the ongoing protests over the past several days, most of the arresting officers were on duty, working to protect the city during an emergent event. As such, work is continuing by officers and detectives to complete the necessary reports but they will not be finished in time for today's arraignments and for review by the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office. Additionally, hundreds of hours of video evidence capturing the events must be collected and reviewed.

Nearly all of those arrested over the past several days have received or will receive traffic citations for violating Oregon Revised Statute 811.535, Failing to Obey a Police Officer. These citations will require a court appearance in approximately 30 days and carry a fine of up to $1,000.

Although all of the defendants will be learning today that their case was a "no complaint" at arraignment, none of the cases have actually been evaluated for legal sufficiency and prosecutorial merit. Once the reports have been submitted to the District Attorney's Office and the video evidence has been reviewed, decisions regarding prosecution will be made.

The sheer number of arrests during protests over the last several days has been an exceptional event and the charges being "no complainted" today is not unexpected and is a procedural matter given the extensive amount of work left to do in these cases.

The Portland Police Bureau is continuing to ask for the public's help to identify criminal suspects involved in this last week's protests and riot. Many people were taking pictures and video during the protests that may contain the identities of suspects involved in reports of widespread vandalism.

Some images of criminal suspects have been released publicly on the Bureau's "CanYouIDMe" page and can be viewed at http://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/canyouidme/

The Bureau would like any victims of vandalism and related crimes to file a report online at https://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/cor/

If members of the public (including members of the media) have information, pictures or video that could be used to identify suspects, detectives would like you to submit it to the investigators. Investigators do not need links to media sites as these have already been obtained and will be reviewed.

IMPORTANT - For larger files of photos and/or video, please use a Dropbox or Google Drive link and email the link and any information to CrimeTips@portlandoregon.gov

Two #NoDAPL Protests on Tuesday Afternoon May Impact Traffic in Downtown and Lloyd District

Two protests scheduled for Tuesday afternoon may affect traffic in Downtown Portland and the Lloyd District. The protests are part of a "national day of action" against the North Dakota Pipeline (#NoDAPL).

At 4:00 p.m., protests and rallies are scheduled outside Army Corps of Engineers buildings, located at 333 Southwest 1st Avenue in Downtown Portland and 1201 Northeast Lloyd Boulevard. The events in both Downtown Portland and the Lloyd District may affect commuters and TriMet users if participants block streets and/or affect transit lines. Protesters are reminded that stepping into the roadway and blocking transit lines is dangerous and illegal. Protesters are asked to be considerate of other people's needs to use the roadway and the transit system.

As with all demonstrations and marches, the Police Bureau's goal is to ensure a safe, secure and orderly event for community members, minimize disruptions to traffic, and to protect property.

While there is no information at this time to determine if there is intent to affect traffic, recent protests suggest that there are people that may embed themselves in large crowd an attempt to influence crowd behavior. Real-time updates will be shared by the Portland Police Bureau through the Bureau's Twitter page, @portlandpolice

It should be clear that "free speech events" do not require a permit; but, marches or demonstrations occurring in public streets that restrict movement of other community members do require a permit issued by the City of Portland to allow for the safety of all. No permits were issued for today's events.

Shaheed was involved in numerous acts of vandalism during a riot and protest over the November 10 weekend, including damaging vehicles at Broadway Toyota.

The Bureau would like to thank members of the community and the media for their coverage of the events that led to Shaheed's identification and arrest.
