New post from the park, but it starts with “no new information has been reported.” I’m surprised they posted again given how these cases are usually handled. Not that he doesn’t deserve it, but the parks are notoriously quick to move on. Makes me wonder if there’s something they know but can’t share — I’m probably reading way too much into it.

Something just seems so strange. These trails aren’t desolate, and he seemed to be headed back to his car. He was experienced, not only at hiking, but at hiking these trails. None of this is what we typically see.

He seemed to be headed back to the car?

He was diagnosed with a medical condition that requires treatments, I didn’t realize this. I wonder how serious it was.

To me it would appear he was still headed away from where his car was parked. Parked at Lupine Meadows Trailhead and last seen heading south towards Taggart Lake....trail seems to be going away from his car's location, unless there is some sort of loop he could have been on.

“My hope is … yeah, it’s not a rescue, it’s a recovery, but I’d like to bring him home,” McLaughlin said. “He’s up there somewhere.”

Members of his family and friends are combing through the mountains in hopes of finding some sign of him.

Cian McLaughlin has been missing in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming since June 8th. His mother Grainne is here from Ireland -- and she is on a mission to find her only son. She is hiking the trails everyday searching. More tonight on

I hope that BE putting it on NewsNation will bring more publicity so that this man can be found. I wish there were more people helping his mother find her son. I understand the LE having to pull back on resources, but I wish there was a way she could get help somehow.
 
I presume that Cian likely had an accidental fall. Generally speaking, just how big is the area in which he was last seen? Is it just a matter of more searches in the area? Different people to search? A new method or way that can be used now that couldn't be done in June?

Is it possible that he's in a completely different area that they haven't searched?

Honestly, I'm not sure.
 
Cian McLaughlin's mother Grainne is back out hiking and searching for her son today. He was last seen June 8th in Grand Teton National Park. She is hoping someone has pictures or video of him from that day. Grainne wants to bring her son home to Ireland.

Grainne was told this is no longer a rescue mission -- but a recovery mission. She recognizes that -- but needs closure. If you have any information... National Park Service Investigative Services Branch: 888-653-0009 Email: nps_isb@nps.gov or: bringcianhome@gmail.com

Time to stop searching. Weather is going to kick in. Snow time. Searching is going to be over for the season.

I’m a bit confused. Did something happen recently to drive a search and recovery operation at this time, instead of earlier this fall? When there were weeks of decent weather instead of just days?

Not positive about her current travels, but appears she live in Ireland and traveled over here in June, when he first went missing. Perhaps the late date for searching is travel related....or related to the cessation of officials now that winter is approaching. JMO

Yes she travelled over in June initially to help search but has returned now as they are redoubling their efforts to try to recover him before snowfall makes it impossible for this year.

'Resilient & strong' mother of missing hiker Cian McLaughlin returns to America

His family and friends’ #FINDCian campaign issued an urgent new appeal earlier this month seeking any information amid concerns about the effect the approaching winter will have on the search.

Thanks. I was trying to find a link to verify that rather than just inferring it. And I was unable to post any part of the article I linked as "cookies" prevented me from copying any part of it. SAR did comment that they would not close the investigation...only temporarily once the snow begins to fall. But they continue to hunt for items that Cian supposedly had with him.
