The 65-year-old English actor has been missing in mountains north-east of Los Angeles since Friday, with rescue teams unable to resume a ground search due to trail conditions and avalanche risks.
abc.net.au/news/actor-julian-sands-missing-in-southern-california-mountains/101872724Actor Julian Sands, star of several Oscar-nominated films including A Room With a View, has been missing for five days in the Southern California mountains, where he was hiking, authorities say.
Sands, 65, was reported missing last Friday on a trail on Mt Baldy, San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Gloria Huerta said. Search-and-rescue crews looked for Sands in an area of the San Gabriel Mountains, about 64 kilometres north-east of Los Angeles, but had to suspend the ground search on Saturday because of trail conditions and avalanche risks, and have not been able to resume since, Ms Huerta said.
They are searching for Sands as weather allows with helicopters and drones, and will resume the ground search when it's safe, authorities said. The latest in a series of storms that have created dangerous mountain conditions swept into Southern California on Friday and lasted through the weekend.
