Man found dead at bottom of ravine was wanted by police

CORBETT, Ore. – A man who was found dead in a vehicle at the bottom of a ravine was a wanted suspect.

Aaron Bryce-Dolve Griffin, 34, was wanted in Washington County for a case from December, 2012.

Investigators say he went to the Shilo Inn on Southwest Canyon Road looking for his estranged wife and her friend, broke into their room through a window and attacked them.

Someone said they saw Griffin dragging his wife towards a car and the Good Samaritan stepped in and held the guy down while the woman ran to safety.

Griffin took off in an SUV he was accused of stealing from a dealership where he worked.

His body was found Sunday off the East Historic Columbia River Highway.

A hiker spotted a wrecked vehicle at the bottom of a ravine on Saturday and search crews met Sunday morning to hike down to the car and investigate. When they reached the vehicle they found a man's body inside.

The car was badly damaged and investigators said it had been there for a while.

The body will be turned over to the medical examiner for an autopsy.
