Missing Hiker
In Oregon. The hiker, Dan Sims, was hiking near Detroit Lake.

A detailed radius search of the area began at 6 a.m. Monday, with more searchers joining the effort as the day wore on.

Vehicle patrols were expected to continue overnight Monday, and ground teams were expected to renew their search today, Myers said.

Half the searchers were on foot, while the other half traveled U.S. Forest Service roads on ATVs, Jeeps and SUVs.

Searchers confirmed that they found a set of footprints matching the shoes described as worn by Sims, Myers said. Crews also reported hearing whistling and human voices in the area.

Hopefully he will be all right.
Update: Wednesday afternoon: Sims flagged down a truck. A good but strange outcome.
