PORTLAND — The Multnomah County sheriff’s office has suspended its search for a missing Portland woman.

More than 50 searchers spent part of two days scouring trails in the Columbia River Gorge, looking for any sign of Alissa Marie McCrann.

The Oregonian reports her vehicle was found parked near Multnomah Falls on Tuesday.

The sheriff’s office says searchers covered more than 150 miles of trails in the gorge over two days, but found nothing.

Search volunteers encountered increasingly difficult conditions Thursday after more than a foot of new snow fell at higher elevations Wednesday night.

The search was suspended Thursday afternoon, pending any new information or discoveries.

Anyone with additional information should contact the Portland Police Bureau’s missing persons unit by email at missing(at)portlandoregon.gov. Police want people to call 911 if they see McCrann.
