Maybe this is Mr. Sands: www.cbsnews.com/news/human-remains-found-california-mountain-area-mount-baldy-where-julian-sands-went-missing Edit: I can't get the link to work, you'll need to copy and paste, I think. Edit again: or maybe it works now.

Looks like Adventures with Purpose searched for him on 19 July 2022 - "GRANDPA MISSING 21 Years!..." This is episode 2 for this search.

AWP was searching bodies of water in Corbin, KY on 22 April 2022. Their documentary was uploaded today (15 May 2022) - I'm only three minutes in, so I don't know the results.

There's an organization in Canada - DRONESAR - that has been doing that exact thing since 2019 or so. I remember following them on some case where someone had gone missing in the mountains <somewhere>, and the amount and quality of video footage was amazing. There were hordes of volunteers...

Somewhat off-topic, but an interesting article on other AT hikers and their philosophies: The Man Who Lived and Died on the Appalachian Trail

This accident could have been just bad luck for JW, plain and simple. I live in Ridgecrest, CA. I am familiar with CA-178 - it's one of two routes to Bakersfield. The route east from the mouth of the canyon is very narrow, very winding, and has only sporadic guardrails. I can't find current...

As I recall, from the Sam Sayers search and some others, there is an organization, based in Canada, Wings Of Mercy Drone Search and Rescue (SAR) From their website: "Wings of Mercy Drone Search and Rescue (SAR) is a grassroots volunteer group which uses cutting-edge drone technology to help...

RE: Satellite Communicator / GPS Locator My daughters made us buy one because my husband and I tend to travel on paved roads that have no cell-phone connectivity, and they worry about us. It was pricey - DeLorme InReach Explorer ran us about $300 - and yes, there's a monthly fee of about $30...

Looks like Lisa has finally been found, but not confirmed yet. (Note that The Fence Post Paper is *extremely* local - https://www.facebook.com/fencepostpaper/ - published approximately once per month, but with a Facebook presence. The Fence Post Paper 7 mins · Sat, 2 Dec 2017 Vehicle...

I think I'm muddling things. Forty minutes / forty miles from TULARE is very close to where the 46 goes west. Forty minutes / forty miles from TIPTON would be very close to Bakersfield and the interchange that would be where 178 goes both directions (178 turns into 58 going west, 178 goes...
