Lead #3What was the exact timeframe between when Hans left Acme and when the Bronco was discovered? Who reported it?
Hans Robert Perrin, a 39-year-old man, disappeared on April 8, 2022, after telling a friend he was going for a hike near Acme, Washington with his yellow Labrador. His Ford Bronco was found abandoned the next day on a logging road in Saxon Valley with his dog nearby, but Hans has never been located despite extensive search efforts. The discovery of his keys three miles downhill and a single set of footprints leading away from the vehicle suggest he may have continued into the remote terrain, making this case a priority for anyone with information about his whereabouts.
