Body found at bottom of Oregon's tallest bridge

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. (AP) - Police on Thursday arrested an acquaintance of a missing Crescent City woman who was found dead at the bottom of Oregon's tallest bridge.

The Del Norte County Sheriff's office arrested 27-year-old Josiah Miller, who knew the woman, as a suspect after authorities found blood in his car.

The body of 23-year-old Michelle Ashlee Dickson was identified by the Del Norte County Sheriff's office after hikers found it while geocaching Wednesday at the base of the Thomas Creek Bridge on the Oregon Coast.

Oregon State Police investigators, who are leading the probe, have labeled the case a suspicious death. Curry County Sheriff John Bishop says it is clear Dickson plunged from the bridge, but unclear whether she jumped or was dropped or thrown off.

Dickson has been missing since her burning car was found on the side of a road last week.
