Hiker Missing
A hiker is missing in the San Bernardino Mountains.
Volunteers from Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties continued searching today in steep canyons near Mount Baldy for a 46- year-old Chino man reportedly missing since Wednesday.

"We have 15 to 20 people looking today, but we won't have a helicopter because of the winds," said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Beavers. "Some will be focused on Falling Rock Canyon, on the back side of Ontario Peak."

The missing man, Robert Bruner, told his girlfriend he was going to try a route beginning in Icehouse Canyon, Beavers said. Bruner's car was later found at the Icehouse Canyon trailhead, which is just beyond Baldy Village north of Claremont.
Update: ABC7 is reporting his body has been found. My condolences to his friends and family.
