A former White House executive chef to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush has been reported missing in New Mexico’s Taos Ski Valley after a planned hiking trip to the area last Saturday.

Walter Scheib, 61, was reported missing by his girlfriend when he did not return home from a hiking trip last Saturday.

Authorities discovered his vehicle on Tuesday, and have been combing 20 to 30 square miles of mountainous area for Schieb since Wednesday, according to Bob Rodgers, the search and resource officer leading the search for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety.

"The terrain is very tough, very rough," Rodgers said. "We still have snow on the mountains." Authorities are conducting using a combination of ground teams, search and rescue dogs and at least one helicopter in the search, Rodgers said.

Like swimming, some things should be done in pairs.

If something happens, the other person can provide or seek help.

This may or may not have been Mexican national related of course...

There's a NEW Mexico?

I don’t feel sorry for ANYONE who goes to Mexico. They’ve lost my sympathies at the border.

New Mexico is still part of the USA, unless Obama slipped in another Friday afternoon executive order that I didn't hear about.

Hope they locate him, soon.

Check out article, and esp the comments.

[Great minds, and all that...]

Thanks, Nachum.

Hiking alone in rough terrain does not seem like a very wise idea.

Perhaps a Missing 411 type case?

How was his “tell all” book coming along?

Hadn't thought of that. My mind went to "Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe" first, then I remembered some remains of a wannabe Food Network star was sort of found, along with some of her husband's, in a neighbor's wood store.

Visited Mexico 40 years ago. It's a piece of cr** looking for American dollars. Sewage in the streets. Cops with machine guns on the beach.

And don't drink the water or eat any vegies. I was sick for two months after we got back.

Yeah, there is a difference between Mexico and New Mexico - for now.

Oh yes, I most certainly agree. You should not go out in the wilderness alone, or swimming, most certainly not.

Look at what happened to that guy who was rock climbing and then had to cut his own arm off.

Me, I’m a city girl, I’m happy to sit on the stoop, that’s enough nature for me.

He is probably with Vince Foster!

I would not like to go through life knowing I had shaken that man’s hand.
