Jeff,
I forwarded your request for help, minus the links, to MSAR-Riders.
MSAR-Riders had a similar request for help in 2008, from a member.
We handled it by developing a topic on Wikiversity. Although only a
few members participated, it allowed us to collaboratively start on
a search plan. One problem in the actual search was a narrowing of
attention onto just one scenario, involving a search dog track north
of town that turned out to be spurious. We did not get far before
the subject was found in a cornfield east of town, during harvesting
of the corn. In hindsight, the area east of town should have been
a high priority, because the subject had been rescued previously in
that area. It appears he was in the habit of riding his tricycle
to that area to help himself to corn, and that is what he was doing
when he passed away.
