Hiker despondent in Side Mtn Wilderness
Wilderness Search in Town of Denning in Ulster County: On July 24 at 3:30 p.m., Forest Ranger Jeffery encountered a subject at the Biscuit Brook trailhead in the Slide Mountain Wilderness who expressed plans to harm themselves. While attempting to interview the subject, the 27-year-old from Pennsylvania ran into the woods. Ranger Jeffery called for backup and a search ensued. Ranger Jeffery was joined by New York State Police, New York City Department of Environmental Protection, and Rangers Schweider, Stratton, and Sweeney. NYSP took over the investigation while Rangers coordinated the search efforts. With teams doing roving patrols on the roadway, and searchers on the ground conducting linear searches, they were unable to locate the subject. At 7 p.m., NYSP started using a K9 unit and then a drone. At 9:20 p.m. Forest Ranger Captain Gierloff located the subject in good physical health on Frost Valley Road.
