COEUR d'ALENE — The body of a missing Coeur d'Alene man was found Friday night.

Family members of Earle Wolfrom found his body and dirt bike about 8 p.m. down an embankment on Forest Service Road 206 west of Forest Service Road 1552, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office.

Although the incident remains under investigation, "it appears Wolfrom crashed his dirt bike while negotiating a corner and died of his injuries," according to a KCSO press release.

Wolfrom was reported missing June 6 after he didn’t return to his storage unit at Hayden Canyon Storage on Government Way. He was last seen on June 3 riding his orange KTM dirt bike as he departed the facility.

KCSO units had searched for Wolfrom since he was reported missing but due to lightning, high winds, and downed trees in the forest area, the search was suspended Thursday afternoon.
