Still no sign of a Fleming County teen who went hunting over the weekend and hasn’t been seen since. Monday night’s search wrapped up around six pm near Route 156, south of Flemingsburg.

The row of parked cars stretched about a half mile long down a gravel road: everyone was there for 15 year old Ricky Hamilton. Volunteers young and old from seven different counties participated in the search, riding ATVs, climbing ravines, cutting their way through brush.

“I’ve done all this for you. If you’re out there, let us know something,” said Andrew Justice, a friend of Hamilton’s.

Justice believes Ricky is still out there somewhere in the hills. But like a lot of Hamilton’s family members and classmates, he’s growing weary. No one has found any evidence of what happened to the high school sophomore.

Search crews called it a night when the sun set.

“We’re going to do a lot more of the same tomorrow, going to keep hitting the bushes, expanding our search, and just hope for a little bit better luck,” says Fleming County EMA Director, Dwayne Price.

Tuesday’s plan: dogs will be brought back to try and track Hamilton’s smell. Price, says the 15 year old’s scent was picked up near a highway, but the trail went cold.

“He may be a little farther away than we’re thinking,” Price says.

Hamilton’s dad, who was the last to see his son while the two were hunting Saturday, says there’s no way Ricky ran away, that he has to be nearby.

“The father’s been out here and helped us, but again, emotional, and that’s to be expected,” Price says.

Eight Wednesday morning, teams will be back out there, heading into the hills for the third morning, hoping it will be the last time.

State police and sheriff’s deputies are also involved in the investigation. We’re told they’ve talked to all the neighbors in the area. No one reported seeing anyone suspicious around the farms.

On November 18, 2012, members of the Anne Arundel County Police Department were called to the 200-block of Pinewood Drive in Millersville for a reported missing person. Family members said Jacie Lauren Pasta walked away from this location sometime during the morning of November 17th and has yet to return. The family is concerned because Ms. Pasta left her medication behind and may be experiencing unspecified medical difficulties without it.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska State Troopers are searching for a missing 31-year-old survivalist from Wisconsin who set out alone in the Alaska wilderness in late September.

Thomas Seibold of Three Lakes, Wis., is described as an experienced outdoorsman who works as an instructor at the Talking Drum Outdoor School.

Seibold had planned to stay in the northwest Alaska backcountry through October and had booked a flight home to Wisconsin on Thursday, according to the Anchorage Daily News.

“He didn’t make that flight,” said troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen.

Seibold traveled to Alaska in June, staying first at an Alaska Native fish camp in southeast Alaska before heading north, said Tamarack Song, director of the Talking Drum Outdoor School.

Song said Seibold traveled to the northwest Alaska village of Ambler in September, hiking to a cabin about 30 miles to the north, up the Ambler River. That’s where a woman and her 13-year-old son lived, Song said.

Seibold, the woman and the boy canoed down the river to the woman’s fish camp sometime in September. Seibold parted ways with the woman and her son on Sept. 27 and said he planned to head back to the cabin, according to Song, who has spoken to the woman and the troopers searching for Seibold.

Seibold’s plan was to hike out about 25 miles to Kobuk in October, and he was supposed to contact someone by Nov. 11, Ipsen said. When he failed to do that, the person reported him missing, she said.

Aerial searches of the area have turned up no sign of Seibold.

An Alaska wildlife trooper flying a Piper PA-18 Super Cub located the Ambler River cabin and landed there Tuesday but did not see any sign of Seibold, Ipsen said.

“It didn’t look like he’d been there for weeks,” she said.

High wind in the region stalled the search until later in the week, according to Ipsen. She said partially open waterways and a lack of snow have made ground searching with snowmobiles or four-wheelers impossible.

Song described Seibold as a wanderer.

In a letter to the school, Seibold indicated he was thinking about trekking farther out from the cabin to build a shelter deeper in the wilderness, Song said. It’s unclear, however, if Seibold made it back to the cabin.

Several years ago, Seibold completed a year-long wilderness guide program in the Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin, Song said. He also has taken survival courses, according to Song, who said Seibold is capable of living off the land for extended periods.

“I’m confident that, if he’s not injured and has adequate calories to keep himself going, he’s going to be alright,” he said.
