Nathan Madsen’s parents await
results off medical investigation
CHKMULT (AP) |t*rry ami Sarah Mad
sen say they feel peace in finally knowing the
fate of their son and they feel pain that Nathan
won't In' coming home.
The 9-year-old boy's saddle and clothing
were positively identified Sunday, nine
months to the day after he disappeared into
the south central Oregon wilderness.
Skeletal remains found in the area were to
be sent today or Tuesday to the state Medical
Examiner's office in Portland, where they
would he examined by a forensic archeologist,
said state police I.t. Michael Howard Though
the skeletal remains had yet to be examined, it
was clear to the Madsens that they were those
of their son.
"We do feel certain." Sarah Madsen said
"We feel sure it's him."
Eight searchers found the boy's remains
below Mule Peak near thy Mount Thielsen
Wilderness.
The site is about 2.5 miles from when* Na
than was last seen and about less than a mite
from where the boy's emaciated pony was
found wandering in November. Jerry Madsen
said the area had not been previously
searched.
"It's the most wonderful thing in the
world and the most God-awful thing in the
world." Sarah \Jadsen said Sunday about
finding her child.
"There's peace of mind in the fact that we
know where Nathan is, hut not peace of inind
in that we still lost a child," she said.
Searchers speculate that Madsen may have
succumbed to the cold while waiting for some
one to find him after he got lost last fall on a
family cattle drive
There were no signs of a campfire, but the
boy's saddle, saddle blanket and bridle were
found along with the skeletal remains, said
!arrv Von Moos, a friend of the family who
helped coordinate the nine-month search
"They had been placed in a manner that
would be consistent with n protective camp
site." Von Moos said
The night the boy was lost. ()<t 22. the
temperature dropped to It) degrees and snow
was falling
The Madsens held a press conference Sun
day morning in the woods near their base
(amp. where about 25 volunteers recently had
gathered for the latest of many searches con
ducted by family, friends and concerned stran
gers.
"We have peace of mind knowing where
Nathan is, but we still don't know what hap
pened," Sarah Madsen said.
"It's not over. We found Nathan, hut it’s
not over," she said, hinting that she not only
had questions about what had happened to her
son hut also about the way some of the search
had been conducted.
By Sunday morning, the Madsens had not
visited the site where Nathan's remains were
found, although Sarah Madsen said she would
soon make the trip.
"It's real important for me to see where
Nathan was." she said
The discovery of the boy’s remains is the
culmination of Oregon’s largest search effort
that involved police, hundreds of volunteer,
bloodhounds and helicopters. When the offi
cial search ended in November, family and
friends continued, forming the Nathan Madsen
Support and Search Group.
