CATHLAMET — Investigators have identified the man whose remains washed ashore in Western Wahkiakum County earlier this month.

They belonged to Scott John Baguely, 61, of Beaverton Ore., Wahkiakum County Prosecutor and Coroner Dan Bigelow said on April 2.

Boaters discovered Baguely’s body on the shore of the Columbia River near the former town of Brookfield. His body washed ashore very close to where another boater found the remains of a missing West Seattle man, Richard Arneson in May 2016, Bigelow said.

According to NamUs, a national database of unidentified and missing people, Baguely was last seen in Beaverton on July 13, 2016. His abandoned car turned up in the parking lot of a Rainier, Oregon church on July 21. The church is close to the foot of the Lewis and Clark Bridge, which spans the Columbia River between Rainier and Longview, Washington.

Following the April 2 discovery, Bigelow sent the body to two of the state’s leading forensic experts, anthropologist Dr. Kathy Taylor, and odontologist Dr. Gary Bell. Both have helped to identify other local remains, including those of Arneson and Killian Tsogo, an 18-year-old Raymond man who disappeared in May 2012. Tsogo was discovered in the woods outside of Raymond this January and identified in March.

Bell identified Baguely by comparing his teeth with Baguely’s dental records. Bigelow said that due the condition of the remains, it will not be possible to determine the cause and manner of death for Baguely. However, investigators do not suspect foul play.

In recent years, Bigelow and other Southwest Washington coroners and investigators have successfully identified the remains of several people, often with help from the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, where Taylor works, and from the DNA experts at the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification.
