Body of missing Bandon man recovered from Cape Perpetua area

YACHATS – Oregon State Police recovered the body of a missing 72-year-old Bandon man Friday, Feb. 24 on the shoreline rocks below Cape Perpetua.

The family of Dennis D. Strader of Bandon had been looking for him since Tuesday.

Oregon State Police said a hiker had reported Thursday seeing a body on the rocks between Devils Churn and Thor’s Well in an area referred to as Good Fortune Cove. Police said responders determined conditions Thursday were too dangerous to attempt a recovery, which was postponed until Friday.

Lincoln County Search and Rescue personnel recovered Strader’s body Friday, state police said in a report.

State police said Strader had been reported missing by his family on Wednesday. In a Facebook post, Strader’s family said he was traveling to Newport and was last heard from about 7 p.m. Tuesday near Cape Perpetua. The family said he had heart issues.

The deputy Oregon State Medical Examiner in Lincoln County will try to determine a cause of death.
