Missing man in Daggett County found
A man who was reported this weekend near Spirit Lake in Daggett County has been found. Officials reported that the man went up on Friday to tear down his summer camp and his family notified law enforcement when he didn’t return on Sunday.
Search and rescue crews worked through rain snow and mud searching to find him until dark on Sunday. Crews found his camp as well as his jacket, cell phone, and horses just not the man himself.
The search was started up again on Monday morning with a group of 125 volunteers. Around mid-afternoon a Department of Public Safety helicopter spotted the man alive four miles away from his camp. The helicopter rescued the man and flew him to a hospital in Vernal to be treated for hypothermia.
