Missing Arcata Woman Found Deceased

On Friday morning, December 8th, the Arcata Police Department was contacted by the California Department of Transportation and informed a maintenance worker had located a knee scooter along HWY 101 south of Westhaven.

Officers responded to the location and conducted a search of the area. During the search, 22-year-old Erin Henry, reported missing to the Arcata Police Department on November 30th, was unfortunately discovered deceased a short distance east of HWY 101.

With the assistance of the Humboldt County Sheriff/Coroner, Ms. Henry’s body was recovered, and the preliminary on-site investigation revealed no sign of foul play. An autopsy is pending.

The Arcata Police Department would like to thank the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, CalTrans, Humboldt State University, HSU Theater Department, the U.S. Coast Guard, Humboldt Transit Authority, Crescent City Police Department, AT&T, the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office, California State Parks and the numerous volunteers that assisted with search efforts.
