Wilderness search continues for missing Mass. man
By Globe Staff
The search continued today for a retired Massachusetts State Police captain who disappeared while on a hunting trip in Idaho last month.
Four sheriff’s posse members and a helicopter searched areas in the Nez Perce National Forest where it’s believed Ronald S. Gray might be, Chief Deputy John J. Nida of the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office, said in a telephone interview.
“There’s an active search going on,” he said. Noting the difficulties searchers faced looking recently for millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, whose airplane crashed in California, he said, “This area is 10 times more remote than that area.”
“This is not an airplane we’re looking for,” he added. “We’re looking for one individual wearing camouflage.”
Two weeks ago, despite a bruised knee, Gray said goodbye to two hunting buddies, shouldered his backpack, and disappeared into the woods. He was supposed to return to camp by Sept. 23. He never showed up, the Globe reports today.
