The search for British actor Julian Sands, who was first reported missing in January after going hiking in the San Gabriel mountains northeast of Los Angeles, resumed on Saturday, according to a news release on Monday from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
The release stated that officials “continued ongoing search efforts in the Mount Baldy wilderness for missing hiker Julian Sands. Unfortunately, Mr. Sands was not located.”
Over 80 search and rescue volunteers, deputies and staff participated in the search efforts, which were supported by two helicopters and drone crews as volunteers searched in “remote areas across Mount Baldy and conducted aerial search and assessment efforts,” according to officials.

Why bkther?
He’s dead.
Looking at his horror movie credits, maybe he decided to disappear. I wonder if he knew Jimmy Savile....
Look for fat coyotes.
Until that snow melts out, may never find.
Shoulda had an iPhone 14: “With iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models, you can use Emergency SOS via satellite to text emergency services when you’re out of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. You can also use the Find My app to share your location with people via satellite.”
If he wasn’t rich and famous, they wouldn’t bother by now.
Missing since January and they resume the search today?! Why?!
Good actor. Remember him from A Room With a View. I once also met him running a 10K in Newport Beach.
I figured they would probably find him when it thawed out.
Never heard of him. Just more proof one should not hike mountains alone
“But if you judge safety to be the paramount consideration in life you should never, under any circumstances, go on long hikes alone.
Don’t take short hikes alone, either – or, for that matter, go anywhere alone. And avoid at all costs such foolhardy activities as driving, falling in love, or inhaling air that is almost certainly riddled with deadly germs. Wear wool next to the skin. Insure every good and chattel you possess against every conceivable contingency the future might bring, even if the premiums half-cripple the present.
Never cross an intersection against a red light, even when you can see all roads are clear for miles. And never, of course, explore the guts of an idea that seems as if it might threaten one of your more cherished beliefs. In your wisdom you will probably live to be a ripe old age.
But you may discover, just before you die, that you have been dead for a long, long time.

Better weather and nicer scenery for the searchers???
(not too soon)
I remember also when it was announced that Tom Cruise had won the role of Lestat in "Interview With A Vampire." A lot of film buffs at the time wrote that Sands would have been the obvious, and much better choice.
He’s not the only one to disappear in that area. Many others have never been found.
Sands is married and the father of three. This is a tragic thing to have happened to him.
The animals ate him.
Remains have been found, thought to be Julian Sands. RIP
