UPDATE: The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to report that Leon Lyle Haight, the 84-year-old man reported missing from Paulina Lake Campground, has been safely located.

Early this morning, a civilian volunteer who had been searching overnight found Mr. Haight in a remote area just south of Devil’s Horn, east of where his vehicle had been discovered Sunday. Medics evaluated Mr. Haight at the scene, and he declined transport. He is currently being reunited with family by Deputy Hicks.

An 84-year-old Salem man went missing yesterday (Sun) while on a family camping trip in Central Oregon.

Leon Haight may have wandered off from the campsite at Paulina Lake Campground, near La Pine ... when relatives returned to the campsite, he and his car were gone. Earlier in the day, Haight mentioned they were nearly out of firewood, and the family also noticed the camp axe was missing after he disappeared. He is believed to be driving a silver 2008 Honda Civic 4-door sedan with Oregon license plate 988 DRD. Haight is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs approximately 169 pounds, and has a full gray beard.

Searchers checked roads around the campground, and Salem Police visited his home, but he has not returned.
