Oregon Man Charged with Murder After Wife and Dogs Found Dead

Susan Lane-Fournier, 61, was found dead near Mount Hood after going missing; her estranged husband Michel Fournier, 71, faces second-degree murder charges.

Susan Lane-Fournier, an avid hiker, was reported missing on November 22 after failing to show up for work, prompting a multi-day search in the Mount Hood area.
Her body was discovered on November 29 near East Highway 26, four miles from her parked truck, and her death was ruled a homicide by the medical examiner.
Lane-Fournier had filed for divorce from her husband, Michel Fournier, on October 31, citing irreconcilable differences after 12 years of marriage.
Michel Fournier was arrested and charged with second-degree murder on the same day her body was found; he is being held without bail in Clackamas County Jail.
Authorities also recovered two deceased dogs believed to belong to Lane-Fournier and are seeking information about Michel Fournier's activities before and after her disappearance.
