Missing Rock Springs hunter still unfound
November 5, 2018
Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office put out a call for volunteers to help with the search of a 74-year old Rock Springs man who did not return from a solo hunting outing. Ground units, fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopter searches on and around Pine Mountain by county deputies, Sweetwater County Search & Rescue, and family members and friends on October 26, 27, and 28 were unsuccessful, and ground and fixed-wing aircraft searches on the 29th and 30th also produced negative results.
Another expansive search was done on Saturday, November 2nd with over 150 volunteers was also unsuccessful. Participating were sheriff's deputies, the volunteers, canine teams, (including Capital City Canine Search & Rescue of Cheyenne), Sweetwater County Search & Rescue, a team from Tip Top Search & Rescue of Pinedale, and a helicopter provided by University of Utah Air Med.
Terry Meador went missing in the Pine Mountain area south of Rock Springs on Thursday, October 25th. His unoccupied vehicle, a 2013 Chevrolet pickup, was found badly stuck approximately 2-3/4 miles north of the summit of Pine Mountain.
The Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office recognizes that people will wish to conduct searches of their own, but cautions that weather and ground conditions will now become steadily worse, creating potential danger. "If you do choose to search on your own, make it a careful, well-thought-out decision and plan accordingly," Sheriff Mike Lowell said. "Be properly equipped and, equally important, let someone know where you will be and when you plan to return."
Anyone with information can contact the Sheriff’s Office at one of the following numbers: (307) 922-5316, (307) 872-3866, or (307) 922-5305.
