STEVENSON, Wash. -- Two helicopters from the Coast Guard and Washington National Guard helped in Monday's search for a 24-year-old Portland woman missing near Bonneville Dam in Washington's Skamania County.
 
Undersheriff Dave Cox says no fresh clues were found Monday. He says search efforts will resume Tuesday morning.
 
Kathrine Huether texted a friend Thursday afternoon that she was at a trailhead and going for a hike. The search began Friday, after she was reported overdue.
 
Cox says searchers found their first clue Sunday when a searcher found a credit card receipt with Huether's name on it about four miles north of Bonneville Dam in the Table Mountain area.
 
Cox says there's nothing to indicate Huether might be a victim of a crime; she's just lost.
 
Monday's searchers included nine dog teams and five additional ground search teams involving about 50 people.
