Gary Robert Nuetzel, an 80-year-old man who disappeared while hiking in the Angeles National Forest, was reported missing after last seen on October 11.
Rescuers noted that Nuetzel was likely hiking alone in the Chantry Flat area, carrying a small backpack and possibly hiking poles, emphasizing his experience as a frequent hiker.
Despite recent attempts to search the area, including a dive team checking nearby Sturtevant Falls, no trace of Nuetzel has been found, raising concerns among rescuers.
Rescue operations have been complicated by changes in the Chantry Flat area due to damage from the 2020 Bobcat Fire, significantly altering the landscape and search conditions.
