Corbett man still missing after strange altercation

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities on Saturday continued to search for a man who went missing after his wife was assaulted and suffered serious injuries.

According to the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, 60-year-old Gerald E. Stomps of Corbett was near the Sandy River Friday with his wife, Lynn. The couple had met at least one man near the river to go fishing.

During the meeting, Lynn Stomps was either pushed or thrown over a guardrail. She fell 19 feet. It took her nearly two hours to crawl to a road where a passer-by assisted her and called 911.

Gerald E. Stomps is considered an endangered person, and a person of interest in the situation.

Authorities said Lynn Stomps is being treated at a Portland hospital, and she is in stable condition.
