Ronald Woody, 51, of Roseburg reported Frazier missing Tuesday. He told deputies that he first met Frazier on Monday at the Pilot truck stop in Rice Hill and she agreed to go camping with him about 13 miles up Steamboat Creek Road. He told deputies that shortly after they arrived, Frazier said she needed to go to the bathroom and walked into some nearby bushes. She never returned.

Woody searched for her, spent the night, then drove to Roseburg to report her missing. But he didn't know the woman's name, deputies said. After she was located, Frazier told deputies she didn't want to be with Woody any more so she started walking and got lost.
