@Billi@m wonderful to get help like that. I know I don’t need to say this, but....keep us posted.

Will do. So far nothing new worth noting has been brought to my attention.

I emailed the drone company to ask about any updates. This was their reply...

"Hey Bill,

I’m sorry but we ran the program 8 times with zero results. Sorry I couldn’t be much help."

Darn it. Any plans in the works for another search? MOO

Do you think it's worth having people go over them with eyes? Computer search is amazing but it's not infallible.

 

[Billi@m]

Idk. This is all kinds of depressing rn. If he fell off a cliff then the bugs and wildlife would've stripped him in days to the bone. A visual search might help if that's the case, but going into it with that as what you're looking for requires some mental fortitude when you personally know the person whose bones you're looking for. We're gonna regroup on our end and decide where to go from here. I'll keep updating when there's something worth updating here.

Hugs to all...just big, big hugs.

Aw hugs. Yes, I didn't mean you should do it. I was indirectly volunteering us here to help you with that part.

I requested access to the photos. If granted I'll try to save them on Google drive or something and grant you all access via a view link unless someone can think of a better way to handle that. Again, that's only IF they give me access to the images in the first place.

Thank you, guys.

@Billi@m I volunteer to help as well.

Google drive link to 132 aerial images. I'll double check if this is all of them because he previously stated 600+.

Not for nothing, but I saved these in drive with the highest definition possible. Hopefully nothing was lost as he sent them to me thru Google photos and I made a specific folder in drive to share a link for ease of use.

 

[carbuff]

Okay, I can get to them and I'm looking at them now.

How would you like us to report anything we find?

Thank you for sharing, Billi. I will look at them as well and see if we can get some additional eyes in here to help.

Do you know why image 65 is missing (seems to be, anyway)? MOO

 

[LietKynes]

Will read backward and catch up.
Sympathy to his worried family.
What a beautiful area in the photos !
Eta : Sorry if this was discussed... were SAR dogs used ?

What an incredibly beautiful and rugged area. I believe more ground searches are needed by individuals with knowledge of that land and experience in the terrain. The photos are unfortunately not a very good resolution. but we can still scour them for his red pants which would likely stand out the most. Maybe it is worth contacting the Hualapai or Gila River tribes to see if they have any specialists.

Good to have you on board, LietKynes.

Yes, K-9's used were from Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team (YCSRT) Search Dog Unit. MOO

I would love to have a banana for scale in some of these pictures. Sometimes it's hard to tell if you're looking at a big tree or a small bush.

DJI_0099 - follow diagonal depression in land up and to the right. Dark rusty red bush?

I’m going to help out as well reviewing when I can. Was checking back in hoping to see some movement on his case.
