Snoqualmie police say a Clyde Hill man missing since Monday has been located and has been taken to a hospital to be checked for injuries.

Wayne “Lee” Singleton was found at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday. He had last been seen at Mount Si Golf Course’s restaurant by a waitress, according to police.

Snoqualmie police Sgt. Robert Keeton said he had been located alive, but no other details were available.

Singleton lives in Clyde Hill.

A manager at Mount Si Golf Course said he was “familiar but I wouldn’t say a regular.”

After being reported as missing, police located his car at the golf course. Police from the King County Coalition of Small Police Agencies, a partnership of 13 departments, searched for Singleton on Wednesday in woods and a water-filled slough near the golf course.

The VHS tape rolls, and an image jumps onto the screen.

The image shows two boys spoofing the popular television show “Survivor.” The film was a school project created by Eric Ward when he was a student at Chief Kanim Middle School.

Ward died in February in combat in Afghanistan, where he served as a lance corporal in the United States Marine Corps.

“A little goofy, a little class-clown but not too bad,” Chief Kanim teacher Theresa Frank said of her former student. “That video epitomizes who Eric was.”
