On a second look at the scene, the deputy located Vondach's burned body, over 70 feet away from his car.

As for the cause of the fire, Wolfe said the Oregon State Police Arson Unit was called in but found no evidence of foul play.

The vehicle was “stuck in the mud and it looked like the person had spent quite a bit of time trying to get it unstuck, by trying to work it back and forth,” the sheriff said.

That action may have caused the vehicle to overheat and catch on fire, but investigators “don’t know that for sure,” Wolfe said.

It appeared the car and body had been at the butte for about three weeks.

My heart goes out to Mr. Vondach's family during this unfathomable time.

May Mr. Vondach Rest in Peace.
