[Unfounded] Death Investigation in Orick
A body reportedly has been spotted near Orick on the south side of the bridge at approximately 3:45 p.m., according to emergency dispatch. The reported body is 20 to 30 feet from the edge of the water.
A Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputy has been sent to the scene and a State Parks ranger is responding as backup.
UPDATE 1/18: Unconfirmed reports (though there is some confirmation from scanner traffic on the day in question) indicates that a homeless woman fell into the creek and lost her belongings. According to a reader, she was assisted by a local family “and they gave her food, clothes and helped her get to Oregon where she’s now with one of her kids.”

Today they located something
I spoke with an Orick store owner a couple of days ago and she said there was no body. A homeless woman and her dog were sleeping by the creek. She fell in, got out and all her belongings were washed down the creek. She went to a nearby house and they gave her food, clothes and helped her get to Oregon where she’s now with one of her kids. The kind people who helped her are now stuck with her dog, a husky, and trying to find a home for it.
Thank you for explaining that.
