Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue (SAR) Coordinators and an estimated 20 or more volunteers searchers are in the field today (Saturday, July 16, 2011) participating in the search for a reported missing person believed to be suicidal and suffering from severe depression.

The missing person is identified as Steven Martin Moline, Jr., age 30, of Portland.
