(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Police say a Gresham-area man reported missing to Portland Police Friday night was found deceased Saturday night along Highway 18 in the Van Duzer Corridor of Tillamook County. The public is asked for their assistance to help find the victim's missing vehicle and information related to this investigation.

Lt. Gregg Hastings with Oregon State Police says investigators working in conjunction with Portland Police Bureau, Tillamook County District Attorney's Office, and Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office report no obvious signs of a cause of death and an autopsy is scheduled Monday.

Saturday at approximately 10:00 PM, Oregon State Police responded to a report that a man walking his dog in a wide turnout on Highway 18 near milepost 11 found a body over the edge of the highway, Hastings said.

"The citizen originally reported the discovery 90 minutes earlier but provided an erroneous location on Highway 101 where troopers responded to but could not confirm the report."

He says that upon receiving the second call, OSP troopers and detectives responded to the location and confirmed the discovery.

The preliminary investigation identified the man as 32-year old Kinnisso Gemachu Dhiboo, who was listed as a missing person the night of June 13th. Mr. Dhiboo was last seen around midnight, June 12th, and was believed to be operating his black 1996 Infiniti J30 four door displaying Oregon license ZGK 474. The vehicle has not been located and is now listed as a stolen vehicle.

Anyone with information regarding the vehicle's location or this investigation is asked to call Oregon State Police Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-452-7888.
