They have two boats with sidescan sonar searching Walker Lake.
found nothing as of last reports.
Air Search and Sat image searches, have located 8 old wrecks
3 of those are un-documented. one carries ID from a plane
registered in OR and missing for over 30 years.
they will be marked and reviewed later by crews. and if they are military, a
team from the Hawaii lab will be notified for recovery of remains. ( JPAC)

The search team has decided that its unlikely he was more that 50 miles
from the Flying M ranch .
Latest real news is on his page.

Thats a LOT of rugged country. Drove through it in 2003 before WOS
looking for Ghost towns and whatever.
and have reviewed over 1000 of the search images (latest set)
and my eyes are tired..
