In September 2016, Dave Cook set off to conquer a couple of 14ers in the Aspen area. It was a normal venture for the experienced climber from New Mexico who has always been drawn to the mountains.
His plan was to climb Pyramid Peak and Maroon Bells. He took off on a Monday and planned to return to a friends place in Aspen Tuesday night. But when Tuesday night came, he wasn t back. The next morning we talked to search and rescue and decided he had just gotten a late start and his trip probably got pushed out, said Maureen Cook, Dave s wife. We waited a day then kicked off the search. We just didn t have good news and then ran into weather constraints during the week.
During its May 18 meeting, the Hays County Commissioners Court adopted two proclamations, declaring May as Elder Abuse Month and May 23-29, as Search and Rescue Week in Hays County.
Search and Rescue Week acknowledges the number of civilians that go missing due to criminal activity as well as seeks to provide closure to families of missing persons.
Jonathan McComb is the lone survivor of his family of four from the 2015Â Wimberly flood. After the flood and the loss of his family, McComb joined the Texas Search and Rescue organization, continuing his search for his family. According to McComb, this search was a large reason why he joined the organization and why he believes search and rescue groups are important.
