October 23, 2002 - Mutual Aid Response for an Overdue Male Adult, Calistoga Area

SUBJECT:

26-year-old white male adult; subject's car was located apparently abandoned next to a small, remote reservoir near the town of Calistoga.

SCENARIO:

Car was located by a local surveyor; car's plates were run when it needed to be towed to find out the subject's last known location was not know. The car's location was used as an initial planning point (note: one of the rare IPP scenarios, not a PLS). Sonoma was called out for a mutual aid search to assist Napa County.

STATUS:

Mutual aid consisted of up to 60 SAR staff members from (at least) the following organizations:

  • NAPA COUNTY SAR, NAPA COUNTY DIVE TEAM
  • MARIN COUNTY SAR
  • LAKE COUNTY SAR, LAKE COUNTY K-CORPS
  • CALIFORNIA RESCUE DOG ASSOCIATION
  • CALIFORNIA EXPLORER SAR
  • SONOMA COUNTY SAR

After several week had gone by, a local land owner located the subject on a piece of flat property approximately 0.9 miles from the IPP.
