British actor missing
A HIKER missing for five days in freezing south Californian San Gabriel Mountains has been revealed to be British actor Julian Sands.
The British actor was named on Thursday, January 19 as the hiker who was reported missing in the San Gabriel Mountains. The 65yearold was last seen on the evening of Friday January 13 in the Baldy Bowl trail area.
At risk from avalanches, and operating in freezing weather, search teams have been scouring the region for more than five days for the married actor.
On Wednesday January 18, drones and helicopters were drafted in due to the ground conditions becoming too treacherous. Julian’s son Henry has reportedly travelled to join in the search operation.
Todd Burleson, the founder of Alpine Ascents International is also on the scene. His disappearance had been known to family and close friends, but only revealed publicly on Thursday.
Sands is known as a keen outdoorsman and has a home in North Hollywood. He has spoken in the past about climbing mountains all over the world and his love of the ‘wonderful outdoor lifestyle’.
