| no partners | | | We participated in the missing persons search for Janet Castrejon, 44, missing from the Chiricahua National Monument, on 19 June 2015 on Saturday. The roads into the NM had sustained heavy weather damage from the rains. We took the roads into The Rustler Park Campground by route of I-10 to Portal, into Paradise, onto FR-42 ending on FR-42D at the campground. We (3 adults, 1 teen) hiked through several canyons and trails with our 4 black labrador retriever cadaver dogs; unfortunately the morning through mid afternoon search turned up no results. There were dozens included in the search, walkers, hikers, people with side by sides, trucks and surprisingly cars traveling the roads around the Park that were involved in the efforts. We were only able to help the one day. Family and friends continued the search through the weekend (Also resulting in no findings) We will be keeping Janet and this family in our prayers. I pray they are reunited. The Sheriffs Dept believes she was abducted. Regardless the sad reasoning behind the visit to the Chiricahua National Monument, the area was gorgeous, green and flourishing with wildflowers, mushrooms and life; we encountered several deer and squirrels as well. The creeks and stream beds were rushing with the heavy rainfall that day producing gorgeous waterfalls throughout. |
