Baldy, we are reminded of the sheer determination & selflessness of all of the people who have aided in this search. We will continue to utilize the resources available to us.”
Sands was identified on Wednesday as the hiker who went missing in the Mount Baldy area, and whom rescuers were searching for the previous weekend. Mara Rodriguez, PIO for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, tells ET, “On Friday, Jan. 13, 2023, at about 7:30 p.m. PT, a hiker, identified as 65-year-old Julian Sands of North Hollywood, was reported missing in the Baldy Bowl area of Mt. Baldy. Search and Rescue crews responded and began a search. Due to trail conditions and the risk of avalanche, the ground crews were pulled off the mountain on Saturday evening.
