Authorities have resumed a limited search for actor Julian Sands, who went missing during a hike on Mt. Baldy six months ago.
According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff, Sands, 65, was last seen during his hike in January of this year. His car was recovered days later.
Following Sands’ disappearance, search and rescue crews conducted eight ground and air searches, with volunteer searcher hours exceeding 500 hours, officials said.
In addition to the rescue of Sands, eight unrelated search and rescue operations have been conducted in the Mt. Baldy area.
Just days before Sands was reported missing, 75-year-old Jin Chung was rescued after he never returned from a hike days earlier. The missing cases came after a woman was killed when she slipped down a roughly 500-foot icy hillside.
The treacherous icy hills are what usually get hikers into trouble in that part of the Angeles National Forest.
However, the sheriff’s department released a new release: “On Saturday, June 17, 2023, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department continued ongoing search efforts in the Mount Baldy wilderness for missing hiker Julian Sands. Unfortunately, Mr Sands was not located.”
Over 80 volunteers, deputies, and staff contributed to the search, including the support of two helicopters and drone crews.
