Sawyer, who has no previous thread, was just mentioned in another MP case from Florida (who does have an existing thread)
Just five months earlier, 67-year-old Roger Sawyer and his extended family stopped their motor home in the Flamingo District of the park in March 2011. They were on their way to visit the Florida Keys.
Sawyer’s family said the group split up for 20 minutes to stretch their legs and hike a bit. Sawyer, who they say was not affected by dementia, never returned.
After a week of intense ground and air searches, the hunt for the retired grocer was called off. It’s not clear whether the man described as an experienced outdoorsman got lost or something caused his disappearance.
Contemporary story from Apr. 2011
In an interview with CBSMiami.com earlier this week, the family broke a month-long silence to speak about the search and their concern for Sawyer.
"Roger, his wife, and I we were all in a motor home together and we took the motor home through the Keys," said Janice Williams, Roger's daughter-in-law.
The travelers brought the motor home to Everglades National Park. Williams said some family members went to the Visitors Center while Sawyer and his wife Paula remained behind. Williams said the two were in different areas of the campground, but as darkness fell and people started to return to the motor home. Roger was not among them.
