SAR Staff and the Hasty Team were requested to recover a deceased subject that had been located off of the Winnemucca Ranch Rd.

SAR Staff, Air Squadron, Hasty Team, SVU, WCSAR, BLM, Forest Service, and Gerlach Deputies searched areas to the northwest and northeast of Gerlach in an attempt to locate two overdue subjects from California – a father and his 8yo son. The two subjects had gone chukar hunting, but gave a very vague description of where they may be going in that area to family members. Search teams were sent to the most likely locations as suggested by the wife of the subject. The Air Squadron spotted the vehicle in the Buckhorn Rd. area, and a short time later, the two subjects were located approximately 8 miles to the north near Buckhorn Rd. Forest Service personnel were first on scene, followed by a SAR team that was in that search area. The battery was dead on the subject’s vehicle, so a jump start was provided. No medical issues were reported.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Dry Valley OHV area, northwest of Pyramid Lake, to search for a missing/overdue ATV rider. The subject was riding an ATV and was last seen at around 7:00pm the previous evening. Numerous roads and trails were checked in the area, but nothing was located until a report of the subject being seen approximately 26 miles north of the camp location came in. A search team was redirected to that location and found the subject, who was completely lost and had no idea where he was. He was escorted back to his campsite.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR assisted WCSO Deputies, RPD, and SPD with an evidence search involving an officer involved shooting in the area of Oddie and 12th street.

SAR Staff and the SVU assisted WCSO Deputies with a report of some suspicious items that were located in the area of Highland Ranch Park. The items were located and the surrounding area was checked for additional evidence.
