Missing People In America JOEY PETERSON UPDATE:

Wednesday 9:23 pm
“Hi everyone, today has been eventful. I know it is painstaking to wait for updates and I wish they weren’t so sparse today. A team went out on horseback towards the interstate, covering creek beds and thick areas that the air team could miss. Foot trackers worked today looking for clues, anything out of the ordinary that could give us a direction to pursue. A new dog team of three checked the areas of scent hits, among hours of other locations, with no scents detected. Snow melt may be compromising the scents, but it is also giving us a chance to see footprints or disturbed ground. We don’t have a new hit, but we have eliminated some tricky areas from the list. Tomorrow, a large team will ride south and comb the runoffs from the base of the mountain. Blackhawk from Cheyenne will be here tomorrow, we hope the wind stays at bay so they can fly low and slow along the mountain base. The Cheyenne canine team will travel in the opposite direction. No news is good news people! Tomorrow brings another active day, full of hope.”

Many prayers go out to Joey and his family. Every single day I think of this young man that I never knew.

 

[PayrollNerd]

These next few days will be very hard on the family. I hope they can bring him home soon.

I agree. I’m sure the holidays will be extremely difficult for this family, especially wanting to be happy & cheerful during the holidays but having that void with Joey not at home. Extremely sad situation...

Thinking you today Joey....actually I’m always thinking of you Joey. Everyday, throughout the day. <3 <3 <3 <3

This just breaks my heart that poor Joey hasn't been found.

If they hadn't found his footprints to which they believed he might have injured one of his bare feet, I would almost think that someone abducted him.

 

[Luckyzmom]

It is heartbreaking, keeping Joey and family in my prayers, think of him often.

 

[Bit of hope]

Sorry for posting this, don't want to upset anyone...I feel very sad that Joey is still not found but could there be a possibility he was attacked by a hungry mountain lion. It's hard for me to believe he survived after all this time.

I suspect Hypothermia is a more likely answer

I suspect Hypothermia is a more likely answer

Yes. Of course...but where is his body?

 

[bykerladi]

Under the snow perhaps? Could it be one of those things that he's found after the spring thaw?

Possibly, I really hope so. When is spring coming in Wyoming?

 

[bykerladi]

April/May according to history, I think

Me thinks this is what will happen.

Bump for Joey.

May he be found soon. I feel badly for his family and friends, missing Joey, when he should have been celebrating Christmas and New Years with them.

And, the above statement is not a judgement call against Joey, his family or his friends.

JMVHO.

A mountain lion may take his prey up, rather than leave it on the ground.

I hope they can find Joey soon and bring his family some peace.

Keep Joey and family in your prayers Spring will break out and the good people will come out and assist SARS . It always seems the winters in the Northern Plains last a long time MOO
