Summit County’s Search and Rescue volunteers sacrifice to find those who are lost or hurt in the wilderness
[...]

Siddoway said that, while in most every case, SAR is searching for a person the team members haven’t met, they come to know that person very well in their mind.

He said he often develops close relationships with family members of missing people.

That makes it particularly difficult when it comes time to discontinue a full-time search, as was done a week after 69-year-old hunter Carl Crumrine went missing in the Uintas in October.

[...]

Those instances, though, are rare. Since 2003, the team has failed to find only three people: Garrett Bardsley, Melvin Heaps and Crumrine.

[...]

“Tough to leave the scene knowing there was no closure,” Todd said. “Melvin Heaps, Carl Crumrine — not too many days I don’t think about them.”

Siddoway said those searches are not over.

Thanks pommy. This is a wonderful article honoring SAR. It really puts the human emotional touch belonging to our first responders.

Police investigating Facebook post of missing Summit County hunter
[...]

“It’s pretty heartless if this is, in fact, a fake profile. It is very cruel of someone to put the family through this to create more questions surrounding his disappearance,” said Summit County Sheriff’s Lt. Andrew Wright.

[...]

According to a newly unsealed search warrant affidavit, “Carl had kept his possessions with him since he arrived at the camp on (Oct. 12) but on (Oct. 14), he gave his wallet, his phone and his phone password to (another person) ‘just in case’ and asked him to keep the items in (his) truck.”

There had been no activity on Crumrine’s bank accounts or social media accounts until Dec. 4.

On that day, a woman who is a friend of Crumrine’s daughter received a post on Facebook by someone claiming to be Crumrine, the affidavit states.

“The conversation was started by Carl’s Facebook profile sending (the woman) a message saying ‘Hi’ and said it was Carl. When (the woman) accused the person of not being Carl as he was still missing, Carl said, ‘It’s me. ... I have been with a friend of mine at New York,’” according to the warrant.

[...]

... Facebook “refused to comply with warrant.”

Wright said detectives were now contemplating what their next step in the investigation will be. He said the sheriff’s offices doesn’t have any reason to believe the post actually came from Crumrine, but the investigation will continue until detectives can come up with answers.

I can’t image why anyone would do this?! How hurtful it must be on the family.
I hate that Facebook wouldn’t corporate with LE, but I’m glad to see they’re determined to find answers.

Thoughts are with Mr Carl’s family; may there be answers soon.
