New York State police have launched a public appeal after a 22-year-old hiker vanished during an overnight hike in the snow-covered Adirondacks. The man appears to have been well-prepared for winter conditions but failed to return as planned on Saturday night.
Léo Dufour, 22, of Vaudreuil, Quebec set off to hike Allen Mountain in Keene on Friday and was due to return the following day. At about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, state police contacted the Department of Environmental Conservation about an overdue hiker.
