The search for Alex Stevens ended on Tuesday without locating the subject. DEC Forest Rangers located a campsite on the summit of Wallface Mountain, tracks and other signs leading from that camp which they determined belonged to Mr. Stevens.
The search continues today with 24 New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers, five members of the State Police Special Operations Response Team (SORT), a State Police K9 unit, one volunteer professional rock climber, and two members of Search and Rescue of the Northern Adirondacks (SARNAK). State Police Aviation Unit helicopters are transporting searchers into remote search areas. Search efforts continue to focus in the steep and rugged terrain on and around Wallface Mountain. Forest Rangers will also continue to follow Mr. Stevens’ tracks and signs of his presence.
Logistical support is also being provided by New York State Office of Information & Technology Services, Newcomb Fire Department, The Town of Newcomb, and Newcomb Central School.
State Police Investigators and Hopewell Township (NJ) Police Department continue their investigation.
