This was my first post I started and I didn't realize that the RI I picked from the drop down wouldn't appear in the title. It won't let me edit the title it seems. Sorry guys. I'm learning the hard way.

I haven't seen that they're requesting volunteers to search yet. I've hiked Carr's Pond before and it's definitely not where an 81 year old with dementia should be. There are trails, but there's lots of water and if you go off the path you're easily lost in the woods. It was also cold and windy yesterday and we're getting snow today.

From the article above published yesterday :

"We believe he might have been seen at the intersection of Division Road and new London Turnpike around 9 a.m. this morning," Ramsay told Eyewitness News Wednesday night. "That is the only sighting that we have of him."

Also said his keys were in the ignition and he left a note in the car saying "I'll be back."

I know the area where the possible sighting was very well. When I lived down there I used to hike 1-2 times a week at that entrance to Big River Mgt area. Trails there, tons of woods. It's near the sand dunes too, which is open, but you can't see far because of the dunes. There's a big pond there people swim in and then suddenly you're in the forest.

It's currently snowing. I really hope he's safe somewhere. [emoji26]

No new information, but it's encouraging they are not planning to call the search off at this time.

Ramsay said as of right now, they will continue searching for Bergheimer and have no immediate plans to call off the search. He also said that while Bergheimer's family is distraught, they have been out with police every day to assist in the search.

So sad. Not surprised though. The weather's been horrible. I'm thinking of his family.

Aw, that's too bad. I like Frank's style - 81 yrs old with a Hard Rock Cafe hat!
