I drive this road all the time because I grew up in Chelan and still have a house there. It’s a highway that follows the Columbia River but it would be hard to go off the road into the water. Wenatchee to Entiat is about 19 miles.

Here's his Facebook - he likes his cars but he hasn't posted any new photos of them or updates since 2022. Justin Lasater

Not certain of exactly where he lived to track his route, one public court record for him, I'd bet it was simply a speeding ticket, if it's not handled at the Superior Court Level for a more serious offense, the docket details aren't in the system. So no address available there.

His Mom and Aunt have another photo of him on Facebook - it's FB so can't link but you can find it easily by searching his name. The photo is definitely him and shows him smiling, but his appearance (weight, hair length) has changed).

I hope he is found safely soon.

One less bad driver off the roads it seems. Crash under investigation too, probably a junkie.

Websleuths is a victim-friendly environment. Both comments are totally inappropriate.

Sometimes I wish we had a "???" type react emoji. He went over a guardrail into a river. Nothing about this case or its outcome would suggest such things and a full investigation hasn't been completed yet.

That’s a terrible thing to say.
