Search on for man missing off Banner Lava Cap since Monday
A search is underway for a man missing since Monday morning off Banner Lava Cap Road.
Joshua Nordyke, 37, was last seen when he left his mother's residence off Butterfly Drive in Nevada City after an argument around 11 a.m. Monday, friend Ryan Durham said.
Nordyke's mother, Renee Smith, figured he was just blowing off steam. But when he did not return Tuesday, she began contacting his friends and no one had heard from him, Durham said. Smith reported her son missing Tuesday afternoon. But because he was described as "transient," he was listed as voluntary missing/at risk, according to dispatch reports.
He's not a transient, he lives in Redding," Durham said, adding that Nordyke had been in Nevada County for a few weeks visiting his mom and some friends.
Nordyke left without a phone and has not been in contact with anyone since Monday, Durham said. And the snow, and low temperatures, has his friends and family fearing the worst.
Nordyke's friends have been out since Tuesday, looking for him along the Cascade Canal trail and in town.
"There are lots of trails back (where he went) between Gracie and Red Dog roads," Durham said. "We believe he might be around Red Dog and Banner Quaker Hill roads, toward Greenhorn, but that's just speculation."
