Just got back from a search for a missing 74 year old man in Camillus NY. They wanted a few areas checked by K9s today. It's been a limited search because of the two feet of snow they've gotten since he went missing last weekend. Now, it looks like we'll have wait until the snow melts. Tough conditions when the dogs have to bound through the snow like a deer!

Here's a news article from yesterday's results:

Unfortunately, this has been classified as a recovery. He's 74 yo, been missing for a week, and they've had two feet of snow since he went missing. He was wearing a light coat and dress shoes. He suffers from dementia. Families need closure. We're just trying to bring him home.

That is sad.
No telling how far he could have wandered.
I feel bad for the family.

Crews going on a "recovery" has got to be a very solemn event. Thankyou for your dedication.

Id say the odds are against him then. I hope he died at peace with his existence while he was alive.
