Police Ask Hikers Along I-90 Corridor If They've Seen Truck at Trailheads

Police are asking people who regularly hike trails in the I-90 corridor area to call them if they remember seeing a red Toyota pickup routinely parked at any trailhead in the last year. 

Peter A. Keller, a “person of interest” in the that occurred Sunday morning near North Bend, is known to be an avid hiker.  Police were told that he usually drove a 1994 faded red Toyota pickup when he went hiking. 

“We have the truck, but we want to know if anyone has seen it regularly parked at any trailhead,” said Sergeant Cindi West, spokesperson for the King County Sheriff’s Office. 

Police also said that he occasionally took his mountain bike with him and recently had been seen hiking with a “very large backpack.”

Keller is known to be an avid hiker and familiar with local trails, and they are seeking information from ayone who may have seen the truck at local trailheads.

If you remember seeing this truck parked at any trailhead in the last year, please call the King County Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 or 911.

A story in The Seattle Times also said sheriff's deputies have put up posters on trails in the North Bend area asking people to be on the lookout for Keller and warning that he could be armed.
