Missing 2-Year-Old Boy, Dane Paulsen, Found Dead — Sheriff’s Office Releases Information

A missing toddler has been found after an extensive search, bringing a heartbreaking end to a case that had gripped the local community. The search for 2-year-old Dane Paulsen, who had been missing since March 1, concluded on March 11 when authorities discovered his body in the Siletz River, about three miles downstream from his family’s property.

Authorities made the announcement on social media, confirming the devastating news. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office shared a statement on Facebook, revealing that the child had been found deceased. The statement indicated that investigators are now processing the scene in collaboration with the Lincoln County Medical Examiner’s Office. At this time, no further details have been released regarding the circumstances of the discovery.

The search efforts involved a combination of law enforcement, community volunteers, and specialized divers. Among those who assisted was volunteer diver Juan Heredia from Angels Recovery Dive Team. He connected with authorities and, with guidance from a local river expert, began searching areas further downstream that had not yet been covered by sheriff’s office divers. It was during this search that he discovered the child at approximately 11:13 a.m.

In the wake of this tragic finding, law enforcement expressed their deep sorrow over the loss. Sheriff Adam Shanks conveyed his condolences to the grieving family, acknowledging the immense pain they must be experiencing. He also took a moment to recognize the dedication of those who participated in the search, thanking both the professional teams and the members of the community who had worked tirelessly to locate the child.

Following the confirmation of Paulsen’s passing, the sheriff’s office made it clear that the family has been informed. They also issued a request for privacy, urging the public and media to allow the family the space they need to grieve. In their statement, they emphasized the importance of respecting the family’s wishes during such an unimaginably difficult time.
