[pct-l] Re: Missing Hiker

[maurer at earthlink.net (maurer@earthlink.net)]

Once my leg heals from my motorcycle accident I will continue to search 
for John Donovan. I have kept fairly good notes on this topic and will 
be traveling off trail, east of the trail section between Saddle Jct. 
and the westerly turn at the top of the switchbacks. Might not be until 
late fall by the time I'm able to hike again, but nonetheless I plan to 
continue on searching off trail.

FYI.

We were notified on Monday, August 8, by the Sheriff's Department that the
search efforts for John* have now been officially suspended.  Action has
been and will continue to be taken as necessary to follow-up on any leads or
information that might develop.  John could be recovered tomorrow, never, or
sometime in between - there is just no way to know and only time will tell.

Suffice it to say, it's a very emotional and difficult time for everyone who
loved him and considered him a friend.
