CHEHALIS – Deputies spent several hours with search dogs scouring the Mossyrock property where 56-year-old Myrna R. LeBeau lives but didn’t find her, the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office said this morning.

LeBeau was reported missing on Sunday by her boyfriend who she resides with southeast of Mossyrock.
She was last seen leaving her home on May 26 and walking on Green Mountain Road.
Chief Deputy Stacy Brown said the property is about 80 acres and deputies spent most of the day looking for her on Wednesday, checking a few trails and also down to the lake.
Brown said LeBeau’s boyfriend reported to LeBeau’s healthcare provider within a couple of days that she was gone, and they did some checking.
“But because she’s an adult who walked away on her own and took some meds with her, they chose not to pursue it,” Brown said.
A friend asked him recently if he had contacted law enforcement, prompting his call on Sunday, Brown said.
When the boyfriend saw her last, she was wearing a green windbreaker, sweatpants, white tennis shoes and carrying a blue purse. She is described as a white female, 5-feet 6-inches tall, 130 pounds with brown hair, and green eyes.
The sheriff’s office has said she may suffer from mental health issues and also that she has a history of leaving, and has friends in Yelm.
Anyone with information that can help locate LeBeau, is asked to please contact detective Jeff Humphrey at the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office at (360) 748-9286.
