A woman's body was found this morning north of Manzanita below Neahkahnie Mountain, according to Tillamook County Sheriff Todd Anderson. There was no identification on the woman, but she appears to be in her 40s or 50s, he said.

It is too soon to say how the woman died, but, said Anderson, "We have a number of people who jump off of Neahkahnie, and from the type of injuries, I think that is possible."

Cliffs on the mountain are as high as 300 feet from the beach. Deputies are searching the highway on top of Neahkahnie for a car.

I think this woman was identified, her name was Mary Duren. From the article- she went to that area pretty often and people think she slipped and fell over the edge of a cliff. Very sad.
