KINGSTON — The Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) and Idaho State Police are currently attempting to locate a missing Spokane woman north of Kingston near mile post 22 on Coeur d’Alene River Rd.

Holly Lindsey, SCSO Undersheriff, confirmed this morning that emergency crews are actively looking in the woman’s last known location and have requested additional resources.

SCSO first learned of the situation early Thursday morning when two teenage girls (14 and 18 years of age) arrived at the Wallace Inn saying that they were involved in a car crash and that their friend was missing.

The receptionist who spoke with the girls, Sadie Bryarly-Harris, told the News-Press that the three were on their way north last night around midnight with the intention of watching the Geminid Meteor Shower from a rural area.

Once they reached mile post 38 on Coeur d’Alene River Rd., they then decided to turn around.

On their way back down the river, their vehicle hit a patch of ice near Prichard and crashed into an embankment.

The three were stranded with no cell service.

After roughly an hour of sitting in the car, the girls told Bryarly-Harris that the oldest of the group, a 24-year old female, left the car to pee and claimed that they fell asleep after she left.

Upon awakening, the girls noticed that their friend had not returned.

The two teenage girls then set off to find help around 3 a.m.

They stated that they tried to knock on several doors in the area, but no one answered.

Following this, they were able to get a ride from an unknown male and were dropped off at the Wallace Inn where Bryarly-Harris called the police.

Initial attempts to pin down where the incident occurred proved difficult since the teenage girls do not know the area well — saying only that it must have been near Dobson Pass since thats what the unknown male told them.

This is a developing story and the News-Press will provide more information as it becomes available.
