On April 30 at 10:57 p.m., DEC’s Ray Brook dispatch received a call from Herkimer County 911 requesting forest ranger assistance in locating a 66-year-old man from Erieville, in Central New York. The man’s vehicle was located by family and New York State Police earlier in the day at his camp, but the man was nowhere to be found. Forest rangers — along New York State Police using a drone, State Police K-9, the Town of Webb Police Department and Herkimer County agencies — searched the area during the night with negative results.
