Thanks to Massive Search Effort
A massive multi-agency search concluded successfully in the early frigid morning of November 30, 2025, after a 70-year-old local man was located alive near McGee Creek Lake. The man, missing since November 29th, survived over 12 hours in freezing conditions with the help of his loyal schnauzer.
