RMT assist Carbon County, WY for missing 72 year-old hunter
|
RMT was asked to assist Carbon County, WY for a search for a missing 72 year-old Minnisota man missing while hunting near Arlington, Wy. Keith Black, Donna Ickes, Dave Hake, Scott Evans and Jose Negron were the RMT members dispatched.
There was a small layer of snow on the ground when the subject went missing and before any trackers were on scene the snow had melted away resulting in very little sign left for the teams to work. There were a few unidentifiable tracks found in a couple shaded areas that still had snow. This helped direct the search to some extent but the subject has still not been located as of this report. The search went for several days and was ultimately suspended until more clues have been located.
There will be continued searching by a few RMT members in the spring in hopes of finding more clues to help in this search.

Missing Aged Park Volunteer
|
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Larimer County Search and Rescue and Rocky Mountain Trackers
I was contacted by our Sergeant in charge of Search and Rescue, who was assisting Rocky Mountain National Park in a search for a missing 80-year old park volunteer in RMNP. They had searched most of the day and into the evening with no success and decided to bring trackers in to see if they could possibly locate the subject, or at least get a direction of travel before the second crew of searchers were brought in the following day. The subject had hiked to the summit of Long's Peak (a 14,000’ peak in the park) over 100 times. He was patroling Long's Peak Trail when he disappeared. |

Missing 5 Year Old Autistic Boy
|
Teller County, Colorado
El Paso County Search and Rescue/Rocky Mountain Trackers
The Teller County Search and Rescue’s Incident Commander initially requested search dogs to assist them after a 5 year old autistic boy, described as a “runner”, ran away from his home at approximately 1700 hours. The home was located on a large wooded property, and adjacent to several square miles of wilderness. Two air scent dog teams and one trailing team initially responded and searched throughout the night, without being able to locate him. Numerous SAR members of that county, and National Guard volunteers, also spent the night searching for the boy. The next morning, May 3rd, additional assistance was requested from El Paso County Search and Rescue (EPCSAR) and other SAR teams. |

Overdue Hiker On Pike’s Peak
|
El Paso County Search and Rescue/Rocky Mountain Trackers
On an average weather morning, a hiker headed up Pike’s Peak alone, carrying a backpack and using trek poles for the hike. His intention was to get to the top of the peak and descend on the train in the afternoon. Going through Barr Camp (mileage-wise the halfway point to the top) late in the afternoon, the camp caretaker advised the hiker not to try to get to the top, as the tourist train that ascends the peak regularly may not be running by the time he reached the top, and there are usually adverse conditions possible late in the day. The hiker wished to try anyway and promptly left for the top. |

Missing 82 year-old Alzheimer patient
|
Loveland, Colorado
Larimer County SAR and Rocky Mountain Trackers
Received call for an 82-year-old Alzheimer patient that had been missing for a half an hour (he had walked off before so they knew to call right away). It was in a rural area just east of an interstate highway near Loveland. Two deputies were on the scene and did a quick search of the areas the subject had been known to go to. After that they did a great job of securing the area to preserve the scene. That made a tremendous difference in the outcome. |
