James Moore was a transient with mental health issues and a penchant for digging.
When he disappeared last fall, his family pointed detectives to one of his favorite spots: a 25-foot-deep hole he’d dug on a hilltop just north of Highway 500. That’s where police found what they believe are his remains, during an excavation that took months of planning.
“He has an extensive history of digging,” said Detective Patrick Kennedy with the Vancouver Police Department. “It’s documented by his family, and he took family members to this spot.”
