Sheesh Liz, you make it sound like he murdered someone....This is a Search and Rescue Operation with an Investigation into a Missing Person in the Grand Canyon....
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"

Oh, do you mean my choice of words such as "manhunt"? Sheesh, semantics will get you every time! It's a man and they are hunting for him, because he's missing!

Anyway, it is an extreme worry at the Park right now. I heard from a couple of friends that there just don't seem to be a lot of clues where to look, other than the general vicinity and downriver from Pumpkin Spring. Anyway, everyone is hoping for the best. He has been missing since Tuesday evening.
