St. Helens were recovered form the wreckage Monday through a cooperative effort of military personnel and a Tacoma Mountain Rescue Council team. The victims were identified as Lester Dowell Sr., 57, of Bridgeport, Wash., Gerald Tupping, 39, and Patricia Hill, 34, both of Brewster. Cowlitz County Coroner Glenn A., York, acting as coroner for Skamania County, in which the crash occurred, said identification of the badly decomposed bodies was established by means of papers and personal effects found with the remains. The bodies, loaded into a hovering helicopter from steep terrain, were flown to the Timerline parking lot, where York and Jack Hubbard, Castle Rock mortician, were waiting. They were later taken to Central Washington funeral homes. Authorities reported that the single engine plane, piloted by Dowell, disappeared four months ago on a night flight from Aurora, Ore., to Brewster. Dowell was a Bridgeport aircraft dealer, and an experienced pilot. Three Portland youths discovered the wreckage Sunday while climbing at about 8,000 foot level of the mountain according to Skamania County Sheriff William Closner.
