Car sounds help man escape forest in NC -- but 20-year-old relative is still missing
Bailey Aldridge, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
May 31—Crews are searching the Croatan National Forest for a North Carolina man who hasn't returned from a walk.
Joshua Clauson and family member went into the coastal forest off Lake Road around 10 a.m. Saturday, relatives told the Carteret County Sheriff's Office.
During the walk, the two got lost and separated, the sheriff's office says.
The relative told deputies he found his way out of the forest by following the sounds of passing cars. He eventually escaped on Rams Horn Road — more than 4 miles from where he entered the forest.
