Elderly Oregon Man Missing From Campground Found Safe

Leon Lyle Haight, an 84-year-old man reported missing from Paulina Lake Campground in Deschutes County, Oregon, has been found safe after wandering away from his campsite. Haight was discovered early Monday morning by a civilian volunteer in a remote area south of Devil’s Horn, near where his vehicle had been located the previous day. Despite being evaluated by medics at the scene, Haight declined hospital transport. He was last seen Sunday morning after his family left the campsite and returned to find both him and his silver 2008 Honda Civic missing, along with a camp axe. Haight has no known medical or mental health conditions but has a history of wandering, and search efforts involved deputies, Search and Rescue teams, and community volunteers. Authorities expressed gratitude to all who assisted in the search and are working to reunite Haight with his family.
