Oh, I didn't consider that...For anyone who is out of articles, here is the text: By Alan Mauldin

A Moultrie man has been named as the prime suspect in the disappearance of an Oregon woman who was last seen two years ago and is presumed dead.
Lennie Ames, 62, was the last person known to have seen Stephanie Anne Warner, the Jackson County (Oregon) Sheriff’s Office said. Police said that Ames was with Warner on the evening of July 4, 2013.
Warner, of Ruch, an unincorporated community in Jackson County, was last seen at a Fourth of July parade in Ashland. Police said that Ames was her boyfriend at the time of her disappearance.
“We believe that she died most likely on July 4,” Detective Eric Henderson of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office told The Observer on Wednesday.
The agency said in a Facebook post seeking assistance from the public that Ames provided inconsistent statements, saying that after the parade Warner dropped him off at the Ruch Country Store, where he got a ride to his camp site. He said that he got a ride to her residence the next day, found that she was not at home and drove her car to a market before returning it to her driveway.
He told police that he got a ride back to his camp, where he stayed for several days but did not report that Warner was missing, the posts said. Friends, family and Ames all told investigators at the time that it was out of character for Warner to leave without a trace because she was devoted to her animals and volunteer work in her community. When police were contacted and went to her residence several days after the parade they found the animals had been abandoned.
Police said that their investigation has turned up physical evidence indicating that Warner is dead, and that they believe Ames knows the location of her remains. He has not disclosed the location of Warner’s remains and is not cooperating with law enforcement at this time.
Numerous searches have been held since Warner’s disappearance, including her home and surrounding areas, and more searches are planned in upcoming months, police said. The Major Assault and Death Investigations Unit, a group of investigators from several Jackson County law enforcement agencies, was assembled on July 5, 2013, to investigate Warner’s disappearance.
Henderson said that no arrest warrant had been issued yet for Ames.
The local response will be interesting! He can run, but he can't hide forever. And I hope the end is near.
