At about 4:59 pm on June 20, family members called the Sheriff’s Office again.  The indications were Crystal Martin had some physical as well as mental problems that led deputies to upgrade her status to missing endangered due to those medical problems. Crystal Martin was then entered into the nationwide computer as missing. On 06-21-17 Coos County Sheriff’s Deputies along with members of the Coos County Search and Rescue responded to the area. Deputies and Search and Rescue K9s searched the surrounding area on foot and by air but did not locate Crystal Martin. Again, Crystal Martin is entered as a Missing and Endangered person and if anyone has information on her whereabouts please call the Coos County Sheriff’s Office at 541-396-7830.  This investigation is still ongoing.
