His wife, Patti, reported him missing and traveled to Joshua Tree, where a massive search was mounted. Park spokesman George Land said Hanks’ truck was found at the Maze Loop trail, near where two other missing hikers were recently found dead after their vehicle plunged down a cliff, trapping them and seriously injuring one. The couple died of an apparent murder-suicide after searchers failed to find them and they ran out of food.
