Man found dead at bottom of ravine was wanted by police
CORBETT, Ore. – A man who was found dead in a vehicle at the bottom of a ravine was a wanted suspect.
Aaron Bryce-Dolve Griffin, 34, was wanted in Washington County for a case from December, 2012.
Investigators say he went to the Shilo Inn on Southwest Canyon Road looking for his estranged wife and her friend, broke into their room through a window and attacked them.
Someone said they saw Griffin dragging his wife towards a car and the Good Samaritan stepped in and held the guy down while the woman ran to safety.
Griffin took off in an SUV he was accused of stealing from a dealership where he worked.
His body was found Sunday off the East Historic Columbia River Highway.
A hiker spotted a wrecked vehicle at the bottom of a ravine on Saturday and search crews met Sunday morning to hike down to the car and investigate. When they reached the vehicle they found a man's body inside.
The car was badly damaged and investigators said it had been there for a while.
The body will be turned over to the medical examiner for an autopsy.
poetic justice? or fowel play? or suicide . Or did nature use a deer? Well no matter tax payers pay for embalming and burial or creamation ..At least we won't have to worry about his parole. there is no parole from Hell.
"Man found dead at bottom of ravine was wanted by police"
And now they have him they don't want him any more?
Sheesh...just because he's dead. That's so discriminatory!
Sounds like 'Car'-Ma took car of this oxygen thief.
"The car was badly damaged and investigators said it had been there for a while."
What is "a while"?
@RalphCramdenÂ
Longer than "a little bit".
@StealthActivist . . . and twice as long as half.
Wow. What a sad and tragic ending to a young life so full of potential. OK...did anyone buy the sincerity of that? My hope is that he had no kids so that his genetic line ends right here. Much better for the planet.
I'm not going to sit here and be-little this man for what he did, as I'm sure he has family that will read this stuff....but, isn't karma a bee otch??
I have no sympathy, I knew him, worked with him for more than a year. He was a waste of Oxygen. Thouroughly one of the most repugnant human beings I have ever had the displeasure of knowing.
@Grayson Muir - you just lost a customer at CompanionLink Software and will lose more.......now go back in your corner and think about all those that you have crossed and think about what you should or shouldn't say big guy!!
@Grayson Muir hey troll, those are soem harsh words to soemone who is now voiceless and defenseles. May someone pay you the kindsness someday. I knew Arron from a young age. He was clever, fun and very funny. Every one has things happen to them or do things they're not proud of. I think that this joy ride of his might have been the culmination of these kinds of things. A resolution to feelings he just couldn't fix. It doesn't excuse his actions any, but I fail to believe that someone with a passing familiarty with the kid has the right to pass such a vile judgment against him. He will be missed, not by you of course, but I can't help but wonder who might miss you had the shoe been on the other foot. Maybe by no one as it seems you may be too quick to judge others. Have a good evening.
@SEPDXter - Yep, these peeps in here don't know the man we know. They obviously have plenty of time to just troll around the news boards. We as friends and family need to look away as there will always be non-believers out there and those that only view one side of the story....for it's the only story they have been given. Someday the truth will be told as the "other" side of the story will have to face the big man eventually and it's then that it will be too late for that pathetic soul to be saved. We love our Aaron and miss him dearly and no one can change that.
@SEPDXterÂ
Some people prefer honestly to false flattery.
When my dad died the world became a better place. That is the reality. He was a jerk and contributed little to the betterment of society. My dad knew the legacy he would leave behind.
When I die more than likely I will be missed. I know the legacy I will leave behind.
Everyone has choices and some choose to do good things and others choose to do bad things. Those who do good things will be remembered in a positive light. Those that don't, well I don't need to tell you about that.
@RalphCramden I'll miss ya, Ralph. (sniff, sniff)
Alright boys and girls, this is what it all boils down to. You get one chance and when your time comes, will people verify that you were a waste of Oxygen or say you are a good person. The verdict is not looking too good for this guy.
Do you think that saying bad things about someone who is dead and can't defend himself would be one of your chances? (just wondering)
@old_dollor @PlayanekesÂ
Maybe the family needs to hear the truth.
I did not know the guy but it appears he was not much into obeying the laws and clearly a violent person.
@old_dollorÂ
Would you prefer they lie and say he was a nice guy when he wasn't?
@Playanekes @old_dollor I didn't say anything nice about him, but I also had enough respect for his friends and family not to say anything bad about him as well.
@old_dollor So, you are free to choose to only say nice things about dead bad guys if you want.

@Dr. Rawdog Better to pee on someone's grave than in their cornflakes.
@Mikey @Dr. Rawdog Let the bleeding harts do what they do best, bleed.
I'm sure he said nothing but nice things about you.
Case closed

@jabs2531 Dragging the woman is not humane, no matter what you say about this guy being a great person. That is abusive. If she was that horrible, he should have divorced her, and let her go. Also the fact that he stole a vehicle from his work doesn't help his cause. There are too many strikes against him to put him up on a pedestal.Â
Jealousy plays a horrible role. Sometimes, you just have to let someone go, even though the heart is ripped apart. If it was to be that these two should have stayed together, there would have been a better way to reconcile the issue. This was just not the case.Â
@washcomom @jabs2531 He was only alleged to have done these things -- no conviction on the books.  Not defending him -- especially if he WAS guilty -- but we don't have all of the facts.
@jabs2531 Yeah, great guy! Broke into a motel room, stole a car, physically abused his wife. They don't come much finer than that.Â
Here's a hint for you jabs2531: Just because someone behaves badly does not justify another persons bad and illegal behavior. When the relationship is over, move on.Â
@I812Â @jabs2531 - I don't blame you, that's all you know. Now get back to work like the rest of us.
@jabs2531Â I'm sorry about your friend but if you leave this post here, you're going to get beat up! Â The trolls are out in full force. Â If you want to battle them, feel free to. Â But be VERY careful about what you say. Â If there is any type of criminal involvement including his ex or anyone else, the information you put out here could be used against the perpetrator which may allow him/her to go free.
In the meantime, the psychological beating you'll take on here will do little to support your position about your friend and just drag you down further.
I've recommended before in situations like this that friends and family don't post or even, really, read the forums. Â They can get quite nasty at times and I have a pretty good feeling this one just might (unless another case comes along that the trolls like better).
Further, we know the news rarely ever tells the real truth. Â Partially because there's the "your point of view, my point of view, and what really happened" situation, partially because you have access to information the others don't have and, as such, are able to form a completely different opinion, partially because news rushes to publish and doesn't always research or ask the right person the right question. Â There are others but those are some of the more dangerous points of believing a news story.
Go be with people who care about you and your friend. Â Wait for the investigation to be complete and don't post here or on other open forums (including the public areas on Facebook) that can be seen and read by so many people that aren't relevant to the situation but could end up in a legal nightmare.
@CTWUÂ @jabs2531 - you're right......the douchebaggery has already begun. Thanks CTWU. Duly noted and deleted.
CHEATING WIVES have been making husbands SNAP for thousands of years.....
SNAPPED husbands have been making wives leave for thousands of years...
@eap Good show Snapped
@eapÂ
Good one. And very true.
@August100Â Is it cheating when they were estranged? Â Not IMO.

@Mikey @jbloe So do you advertise yourself as Mr. Buzzkill?  Hahaha!
@jbloe "Friends with Benefits"...HAH!
I look and look and look for friends with benefits and every time I find someone with potential, I ask about health insurance, 401k and sick days, they look at me like I'm crazy! :-P
@WTFWTFÂ And equally funny when guys don't realize that's exactly what the woman wants, too. Â =)
@WTFWTF @Sundowner @TheUglyTruth @Msbiest In most cases, they do know. What? Who? He wants to do what?!Â
@Sundowner @TheUglyTruth @Msbiest It is true that males and females can be friends without any 'involvement'.
Maybe the guy did not like the Shilo Inn.
Maybe the 'friend' was a female.
Maybe - more likely - they were friends with benefits - they would share the cost of the room.
@Sundowner @TheUglyTruth @Msbiest LOL - it's always funny when women don't realize their guy friends want to bang them
@TheUglyTruth @Msbiest Women are capable of having male friends they're not intimate with.  Men are capable of having female friends they're not intimate with.
I'm thinking suicide,..condoences to his family, senseless as always.
Make that condolences.....preeeeezz forgive!
@danoseknowsÂ
" I'm thinking suicide,.."Â Â
If you really are thinking of suicide, call the Multnomah County Mental Health Call Center at 503-988-4888 or 1-800-716-9769. If you're not from around here, there's probably a similar hotline in your area. You have nothing to lose, and the rest of your life to gain by calling.
@danoseknows @StealthActivist
My brain accidentally put an "of" in your "I'm thinking suicide" statement. Â My bad. Â Still good info to put out there though..
@StealthActivist Or above?.....
@StealthActivist Let me re-phrase that,...I suspect this could have been suicide, but since this happened in December, I'm wondering what road conditions were like when this occured as well. We'll probably never know.At any rate, thanks for the excellent advice, now you're my hero as wall as Welfair Chick's (see below)
@StealthActivistÂ
Oh, for heaven's sake. You know what they mean.
I have no sympathy for a man that attacks a woman and who was obviously making bad choice after bad choice. I do, however, have sympathy for the family of this man who must have experienced heart break after heart break from his bad choices. What a senseless sad ending to a young life.
@DeaconBugg I believe in equal rights and lefts for women
@Bert @DeaconBugg Did you actually think of that yourself or did your ol' lady help you?
