GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A 19-year-old from Oklahoma inspired to live off the land by the movie “Into the Wild” was missing on Wednesday in remote, rugged country in southeastern Oregon.
Dustin Self had left his parents’ home in the Oklahoma City suburb of Piedmont a month ago “to see if he could live in the wild,” and to investigate some churches that practice a South American religion that uses a hallucinogenic tea as a sacrament, his parents said. One is in Ashland, and the other in Portland.
“We did everything we could to try to talk him out of it,” said his mother, Tammy Self. “He was leaving, no matter what.”
The Harney County Sheriff’s Office and others searched for him on Tuesday on the northeast side of Steens Mountain after a rancher found his truck had slid off a backcountry track and gotten stuck. Searchers on ATVs saw no tracks, but checked out remote cabins and worked their way up the mountain, with no sign of him before heavy snow and high winds put an end to their efforts, said Deputy Missy Ousley. They hope for good weather Thursday so they can put up a plane to look for him.
