Hi Jorene,
I don't have first hand knowledge of the search I mentioned. My
information comes from three persons who were there and are also
involved with this "fledgling" state wide organization.
I is my understanding this was under the jurisdiction of local
police. They weren't aware of the resources available. One of the
aforementioned guys is an ambulance driver/paramedic who is stationed at
that location. He was able to get search resources involved.
Unfortunately there were problems with how things were run. The subject
was found, but not as soon as he could have been. The interest a
cadaver dog shown in a area was ignored by the authorities, and the
subject bobbed to the surface there a couple days later.
I didn't know about the workshop. Its just as well. I couldn't make
it and it would have bugged me knowing about it;)
