Overview
- Jason Coughran, 60, was last heard from about 4 p.m. on May 25 after entering Desolation Wilderness from the Fallen Leaf Lake/Glen Alpine trailhead.
- El Dorado County search-and-rescue teams are actively combing the wilderness with ground crews, canine units, drone assets and Tahoe-area teams.
- Authorities say Coughran is about 6 feet 2 inches tall, roughly 150 pounds with brown hair and hazel eyes and may have been wearing khaki shorts and a long-sleeve white and blue shirt.
- A missing-person flyer placed Coughran near Angora Peak around 11 a.m. on the day he was last seen and officials are asking hikers who may have seen him to call 530-621-6600 or 530-573-3051.
- Weather in the South Lake Tahoe area turned windy with gusts above 40 mph and pockets of light snow and fog, and the rugged, 63,960-acre Desolation Wilderness makes reach and visibility difficult for search teams.
