Search suspended for missing man

HAYDEN - A search for a missing Coeur d'Alene man has been suspended due to weather conditions.

Earle Wolfrom, 43, was reported missing on Tuesday after he didn’t return to his storage unit at Hayden Canyon Storage on Government Way in Hayden.

He was last seen on Saturday, June 3, riding his orange KTM dirt bike when he left the storage facility, according to a press Kootenai County Sheriff's Office release.

The Kootenai County Regional Air Support Unit and the KCSO Search and Rescue Unit, with assistance from Idaho Disaster Dogs, checked the forested areas surrounding Hayden Creek for Wolfrom on Thursday.

"Several posts on social media indicated he may have been seen in the Hayden Creek area so search efforts were focused there," the release said.

Units have searched for Wolfrom since he was reported missing on Tuesday. Due to lightening, high winds, and downed trees in the forest area, the search was suspended at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Anyone with information of Wolfrom’s whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Kerzman at [email protected] or 208-446-1366.
