Search Training & Search
An update here is long overdue. September has been an interesting month.
I attended the L.A.S.T. (Locate, Access, Stabilize, Transport) Conference that was given by the North Carolina Search & Rescue Advisory Council at Camp Caraway just outside of Asheboro. It was an excellent learning experience. Highlights were:
Dr. John Williams of Western North Carolina University talking on Human Remains Detection. Dr. Williams is a forensic pathologist and studies the decay of human remains and assists law inforcement and search & rescue with solving crimes and location of missing persons.
Teepa Snow spoke on searching for alzheimer patients. Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA is a licensed occupational therapist with 23 years of practice and teaching experience in geriatric settings, including home health agencies, assisted living facilities, hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. She was dynamic in her presentation and very interesting.
On the 19th, 20th & 21st I participated in a search in Jacksonville, NC for a marine who has been missing since about the first of August. He is wanted by the Feds for investigation of some alleged criminal charges so I can't elaborate other than to say that we searched for 2 days with about six cadaver dog teams and did not find him.
