Man missing from upper Weber Canyon found on search's second day

Summit County Search & Rescue

Rescue personnel spotted the missing person while refueling in Kamas, the sheriff's office said.

According to Summit County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Sgt. Skyler Talbot, the man whom relatives reported missing this week is "in good health."

Relatives told authorities the man's car had been at the family cabin in Weber Canyon above Oakley since at least Thursday, Sept. 5, and he hadn't been seen at work.

County deputies checked the cabin, located at the end of Weber Canyon Road on Iroquois Road, Sept. 9 and did not find him, setting off a two-day air and ground search.

Summit County Search & Rescue, the sheriff’s mounted posse, a drone team and a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter deployed.

The sheriff's office announced around 10 p.m. Sept. 10 the man was found in Kamas by rescuers returning for fuel.

The sheriff's office said he was involuntarily committed to a hospital for evaluation because of statements he made to deputies. The man's identity had not been released Sept. 10.
