Fresh searches on higher ground for Julian Sands are still not possible due to poor conditions, authorities said as efforts to find the missing British actor approached the end of their second week.
An update shared by San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday said “numerous” ground and air searches had previously taken place in lower areas, but no evidence of the actor’s location had been found. Sands was first reported missing on January 13 in the Baldy Bowl area of the San Gabriel mountains in southern California. It comes as the department announced that a second hiker who had gone missing in the same area was found alive.
But a spokesperson for the department told the PA news agency that although the ground searches for the second hiker had provided an opportunity for secondary sweeps, Sands had still not been located. They added that further ground searches in areas of higher elevation were still not possible due to the conditions.
