Lincoln County Sheriff���s Office Deputies say a 60-year-old woman was reported missing at around 1715PST, two hours after she had left to walk their two dogs. Her husband became concerned when one of the dogs returned home alone and soaking wet. Lincoln County Sheriff���s Office deputies, Search & Rescue volunteers and the U.S. Coast Guard searched for the missing woman. At around 10:30 p.m., Search and Rescue volunteers found the woman dead in the surf near the mouth of the Alsea River. The other dog was not found. Wave conditions based on buoy 46050 were 10 to 14 feet at 14 seconds and did not meet High Surf Criteria.
