The Toutle community is shaken after their worst fears were confirmed last week, following several days of searching for a missing high school student. Chief Criminal Deputy Troy Brightbill with the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that Vander Narcisco was found dead in a wooded area near Toutle. He did not disclose the cause of death but did confirm there are no signs of foul play.

The family is asking for privacy at this time.
