Per Charlottesville News Plex (WANU FOX27):
(released April 8, 2008)

"The body of Jose Alfonso Martins, Jr. was located this morning in the Keyser Run area of the park, marking the end of an eleven day search. The cause of death is under investigation.

Martins, 42, had been missing since Wednesday, March 26th. His family
reported him missing to the Manassas Police Department on Thursday, March
27th.

All trails in the Keyser Run area re-opened at 5:00 p.m. Tuesday.

Over 200 employees and trained volunteers, including dog teams, ground
searchers, support personnel and helicopters were involved during the
lengthy search.

National Park Service personnel were assisted by Appalachian Search and Rescue, Virginia Search and Rescue Dogs Association (VSRDA), Dogs East Search and Rescue, Top of Virginia Search and Rescue, Search and Rescue Tracking Institution, Virginia State Police, Blue and Gray Search and Rescue Dogs, Manassas Police Department, TROT Search and Rescue, Rockingham-Augusta Search & Rescue (RASAR) and K-9 Alert. Shenandoah National Park wishes to thank these cooperating search teams for their response and continued efforts."


My prayers and thought go out to the Martins Family.

TROTSAR Mounted Team
