Missing Hiker - Loch Leven Lakes - Placer County

Post by fishwrong »

I'm not sure if this has been posted previously, but I just found out an friend's son is missing. Only information I have is from the KCRA news report. With some information below.

Cody Michael left home to go camping with his German Shepherd along the Loch Leven trail in Placer County Sunday, but didn’t return home as planned Monday.

Search teams with the Placer County Sheriff’s Office combed the trail and nearby areas for any signs of the hiker Tuesday. His silver SUV remained parked in the same spot where he left it Sunday.

Deputies said Michael is an outdoorsman and in good health.

“He definitely was prepared for coming out here for camping. He had the right equipment, he had warm clothing, a tent, a sleeping bag. His dog even had boots on him, and a little vest for his dog,” Sergeant Ty Conners with the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said.

Michael’s parents received a photo via text on Sunday, showing him at the entrance of the trail with his dog. The following day would be the last time they heard from him.



If anyone on the board was in the area, or has information, please contact the Placer County Sheriff's office. Please spread the word and hold good thoughts.

I have been following this story. He should be found quickly. I hope all turns out OK.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
