I'm glad you posted this, thanks. I read that Joseph's ping ended up triangulating to an area around Smith Water Canyon and that's on the opposite of Park Blvd. In 2010, Bill Ewasko went missing and his cell phone ping gave the location of the Smith Water Canyon area too. I know everyone...

This is very tragic! My heart goes out to both families.

Very sad ending, but I'm glad the families now have closure. Here is a link to the progression of the search from the time they were lost until Gilbert Orbeso and the volunteers found them. There is a photo of a map at the very end of the areas that were searched in the earlier days. I can't...
