Washington family's missing log cabin is found ... 10 miles away



SPRINGDALE, Wash. (AP) --€” Authorities say a log cabin that a family reported stolen off its foundation has been found in rural northeast Washington.

Stevens County Sheriff Kendle Allen says deputies following a tip found the cabin Thursday morning about 10 miles from its original location. He says the structure had been placed on stilts and was sitting at the end of a private road east of Springdale.

Springdale is 38 miles northwest of Spokane.

Chris Hempel tells The Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane (http://is.gd/gJ97eb ) that her family drove to their cabin Tuesday and found the entire 10-by-20-foot structure missing.

Investigators think that whoever took the cabin was living in it.

Allen says deputies are getting a search warrant to get onto the property and inside the cabin. He says he has identified suspects but declined to name them.

Springdale is located at the red dot in the upper left part of the map.
