Mounted search and rescue

["IRVIN LICHTENSTEIN" <ilichten1@verizon.net>]

In the first a bow hunter was reported overdue. His car and gear were found,
a bloody shirt, and other evidence of a hunting accident.  Cops said he was
a family man would never run off and leave wife and kids, the usual. We
searched area and adjacent river for 3 days. He was busted arriving at
Heathrow with a new girlfriend, and it was not the first time he had done
this. 

The second was a patient at the Coatesville PA VA hospital. He missed bed
check and a meal, and then a dialysis trip.  He had been spotted on a local
bank's surveillance tape withdrawing $40,000 in the company of a former
patient. He was not with the former patient. We checked the institution
grounds and then BOLO'ed all the VA hospitals he had been in before-- he
checked himself into the Atlanta VA Center the next day, before the airline
and bus ticket checks came back by the way. 

There was a third case we were not on but Chester County Dive was-- this is
the one we invented the term Disneyworlder for. A pair of teens climbed over
the edge of a quarry, threw in a big rock and screamed. Their friends called
it in while they got on an airplane to Orlando for a week.
