COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah (AP) — Officials continue their search for a hiker last seen in a northern Utah canyon.
The Deseret News reports (http://bit.ly/2o3oYPZ ) a search team continued looking for 28-year-old Benjamin Kritzer in the Ferguson Canyon area on Monday.
He has been missing for four days. His family says Kritzer texted them a photo of a wildflower on Thursday, and have not heard from him since.
His family says Kritzer usually lets them know when he is back home from a hike.
Unified Police Detective Ken Hansen says search dogs were used to look for Kritzer on the mountainside. Detectives are also looking through Kritzer's laptop to get an idea of his hiking habits and favorite places to go.
Hansen says the search is currently considered as a rescue operation and not a recovery.
