After following David Paulides and his Missing 411 about hikers who disappear, and following so many threads here lately, I am pretty sure I’m not going anywhere more remote than the mall any more.


I’ve learned so many things following cases of missing hikers/hunters - and first and foremost tell someone exactly where you’re going, and when you plan to return.

Do we even know Narineh made it to a park, etc.? It doesn’t sound like they’ve located her vehicle, so it’s possible she didn’t go where she intended to go? Whether by choice or not sadly.

Going to see if I can find possible day hiking areas near her.

All MOO, speculation, and a newfound fear of the outdoors.

To your point, did she even make it to a hiking destination? Perhaps she had an accident along the way and has yet to be discovered. JMO

Sorry to jump off my own post, but there are lots of comments with possible locations on the above Glendale PD FB. There’s way too many places she could have gone to even venture a guess.

She’s a lovely woman and I pray she is located quickly and comes home safely.

MOO

That’s what I wondered as well zecats. I can’t discuss comments but there may be more solid info on her plans, etc. Rumor and speculation only at this point.

Okay, we have a time. She was just starting out at noon so hopefully that means her hiking destination was not far.

About 3 p.m. Thursday, the vehicle was located parked at the Buckhorn Day Use Area along Angeles Crest Highway, Hauptmann said.

“It should be noted that this area was heavily impacted by the recent snow storm,” he said.

“Upon locating Narineh’s vehicle, search-and-rescue personnel from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department were immediately deployed with a large contingency of sworn and volunteer personnel,” Hauptmann said. “Their search efforts continued as approximately 12 feet of snow fell overnight; but due to the worsening weather conditions, the search was terminated around 2 a.m. this morning. A few hours later, the search was able to resume with even more resources and is currently active.”

Glendale police investigators were sent to examine the vehicle and have it towed back to the police station for further processing, Hauptmann said.

“At this time, there is no suspicion of foul play,” Hauptmann said. ...

Police say she did not tell her family where she was going, but it was not unusual for Avakian to go off hiking with a group or by herself.

I thought so too, but it maybe an ESL thing?

What is ESL?

 

[muppethead]

What is ESL?

English as a Second Language

 

[BethAnn777]

Yes, it could be an ESL thing. ESL is English as a second language.

Here's a link to an update from the Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station. It looks like the search is centered on Mt. Waterman but includes some of the many other trails in the area.

"Our SAR team is on an active search in the Angeles National Forest near Mount Waterman. We have multiple teams searching a wide network of trails. Several teams from across Los Angeles County have responded to our call. More from across the state will respond shortly."
