Re: Authorities seek help finding man missing in Yosemite
Learned about this about an hour ago from someone who works for YOSAR, they just learned about this themselves. He was supposed to go on a day hike to Yosemite Falls from Tioga Road, he left a note in his car. Why had no one called the authorities about him missing, 3 weeks is a long time.

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.

Question still stands, why did no one call the authorities when this man went missing? He had to have some family, or friends, that should have become suspicious after not hearing from him, and what about his job? Rangers became suspicious after seeking his car parked on Tioga Road for an extended length of time.

Re: Authorities seek help finding man missing in Yosemite
3 weeks.. maybe no permit, but the dust after a week on the car would have given it away.
So.. Why we don't get are the details of the accident. we don't even get that from SAR. They just talk about the rescue. That seizure on Whitney.. What happened after?

All searches are a criminal investigation until they are proved not to be. SOP for law enforcement.
