Starting with this post in High Sierra Topix, we have been asked to help spread the word in the hope that someone may be able to provide information that leads to Larry Conn's rescue.

God be with you, Larry, and God speed to the SAR teams.

Please let us know the outcome.

SEKI Search and Rescue have been posting daily updates on the parks' official News Releases page. Unfortunately no luck on finding Larry yet.

Ground teams were pulled yesterday as another storm is expected to arrive this week. The aerial search will continue.

Search efforts have been suspended. The Search and Rescue teams did everything in their power to help find Larry. Absolutely no clues have been found - no footprints, no gear, no signs of an itinerary. Nothing. He seems to have simply vanished.

RIP LARRY CONN
