Confirming you want OSP to check 77 south from Brexville Road north to see if there are any vehicles on the size of road?
00:08
Right, I want to make sure you didn't try to hop out of a vehicle on 77.
00:12
Because there are no vehicles here currently.
00:14
Got it. Mark 52.
00:15
Go ahead. I didn't get a chance to look at all the notes.
00:17
Do we know what his preferred means is?
00:19
I don't believe it's shared means or method, just said that he was recently released from a hospital due to suicidal thoughts, but I do not believe it's shared means for him.
00:30
Top of 270.
00:31
Go ahead.
00:32
This cell phone 370 wanted her, on scene, check the exterior and secure.
00:36
But you're clear. It's 2030.
00:37
52, the Bolo earlier did say that he was on foot.
00:41
I hear it.
00:42
I just want to make sure you didn't toss the phone somehow.
00:44
I'm going to go to northbound on Rock Creek, where it borders, furnace runs stream, and I'm going to turn around and make my way back to a lot.
00:57
Copy. I hit a dead end in the woods, so pretty soon I'll head back by the lake and check the woods on the other side of this ditch.
01:04
52. Go ahead.
01:07
With the amount of chatter, do you want us go into 4A or B?
01:09
Just stay on main channel, all of the units, this channel is going to be clear for this emergency traffic, everybody else, go to 4A4 Adam.
01:17
On my way and I stopped at your office, they're cabotas in pieces.
01:21
So if we need a utility vehicle, it's going to have to be Richfield fired.
01:24
Copy. I see a flashlight.
01:25
Is that U-57? You see mine?
01:27
Yes, me.
01:28
Cool, making sure it's not drifting.
01:30
So it's like a bowl down here with like a big ditch wall and you can't go straight over to Townsend this way.
01:36
So I'm searching all this open area and then I'm going to try and see the other side of that wall of dirt.
01:41
What you do to dispatch?
01:43
I'm good. Richfield OIC was one to know if we have a radius on the ping.
01:46
Do you know how big it is?
01:47
Get mail, Jeff.
01:48
I'm wondering about that parking lot area that borders the woods.
01:52
They're going up towards the businesses.
01:54
March 52, I'm being told a 3,000 meter ping, a 3,000 meter.
01:58
52 to 40.
02:00
That's 52. With the size of that radius, I'm just going to do all of Rock Creek Trail and meet up at the trailhead.
02:08
Copy. 40, 52.
02:09
almost at the north end of Rock Creek, but...
02:13
All right, I have searched all the open woods where I marked the map, so I'm going to get out of here and try and see the other side if there's more woods that can get into.
02:23
Clear. I guess there's also the possibility he could be in the lake.
02:26
At the very least, I don't see anybody floating in the lake.
02:33
Great for dispatch.
02:35
Go ahead for dispatch.
02:36
He said the phone was dead or not.
02:38
I believe the below that came out earlier stated that his phone was dead.
02:42
However, the more recent call we got said that he had turned the phone back on, and that's when he started pinging it, if I'm understanding correctly.
02:49
All right, can you even have one of your dispatchers call the phone now, and then at the top of the hour? See if we can hear the phone.
03:01
A-fer. If you want to P4.
03:03
If you want, go ahead.
03:04
Call A4, see if you want to deploy our drone to get it in the air.
03:08
Got it, same by.
03:09
Sparks, 52.
03:10
Go ahead.
03:11
All right, OSP is sending somebody for 77, and we called the phone, it rang twice, and then went to voicemail.
03:20
Clear. Thank you.
03:21
At the top of the hour again, please.
03:23
Okay.
