April 2023
Julian was an absolutely gorgeous man, and a brilliant actor. It hurts to think of him out there. It hurts to think of anyone out there, lost, hurt, and dying.
Indeed dear. ☹️❤️
He is, is it possible that he is around!
@@eded3827 ...no, it isn't.
@@eded3827I live down the mountain about a half hour south of Mt. San Antonio/Mt. Baldy. The storms that came in for the two weeks after Julian Sands went missing make it unlikely that he is in survival mode.
Ate by animals
SAT phone, emergency transponder, a gun and A FRIEND are basic requirements on these hikes.
People get lost even tho they have all that
And a tracking device
I met Mr. Sands, 10 years ago. He was incredibly kind and down to Earth. This is such a shame.
The problem finding people like Julian is they are experienced enough to get themselves into very secluded & remote places.
And possibly fell into a weird & unlikely spot, like a crevice or void in the mountain's surface. Somewhere people never go, inaccessible.
Perhaps a high quality drone flown by a skilled operator would be useful(?)
@House of Solomon drones can't go into crevasses. It'll take 500 years, but he'll be ejected by rhe glacier eventually
Search & rescue will scour the trails & known campsites. They don't look behind every rock & tree unless they have suspicion. That's what hikers should know.
That’s good I hadn’t thought of that.😢
@@patrickglaser1560 🙄🤯
Read from people who live around the area said this mountain is extremely hazardous in winter. Poor guy, Warlock and part 2 was one of my favorite movies in high school :(
I was devastated to find out about Julian..I've followed his career for many years and enjoyed his movies and tv shows..I own the movie warlock and have watched it through out the years..I realize that it is very possible that he has passed on like so many others that have hiked this mountain..so sad...I pray for all the families of the missing people...I hope his wife and family find closure...😢
Room with a View is my fave 😊
Always liked the actor and he seems to be a good man. Never know when someone will not be seen again. It's why I try to treat all well. Good video, Rusty.
I feel he passed away. There’s no freaking way he could survive that long it’s several months ago he’s been missing. R. I p. Julian. Hopefully they’re find his remains and give his family closure
Ate by animals
@@nyla298 🤡
That’s a super creepy photo you’re using there...what’s in that baby’s mouth?!
@@nyla298 "eaten"
@@sdmsdm7926 hahaha
He was in many movies I really liked and I hate that this happened to him. Julian left behind a wonderful legacy.
Ran into a black bear a few years ago in Angeles national Forest. Didn’t run stood my ground and we literally had a staring contest. I was terrified and in awe at the same time…. Slowly backed off by min 15 and luckily it didn’t follow me. My back was to a canyon and the sun was setting. Could have gone very bad, very fast.
Wow 15 minutes is a long time. You are sure brave. I wouldve succumbed as the fear of staying still wouldve got thr better of me. I wouldve prayed and ran
I know carrying guns in California is risky, but hiking without a gun in bear country is ALSO risky.
@@jc-246 it’s hard to explain, I was proud of the moment for standing tall but looking back I feel lucky enough it didn’t go worse way possible. She was big as fuck too, that’s why it kinda caused me to freeze up
@@shootfirst2097 haha I had something on me, plus some bear spray and a machete, jungle master knife and some other ninja stuff. Only problem is, she would have gotten me so fast, I would have been over the cliff before I could fire more than one shot off, maybe couldn’t even get that one, she was 15-20 yards away
black bears eat berries, yr not tasty, u taste like battery acid
The Baldy Bowl Trail is very dicey, even when there is no snow or rain, because of how steep the sections can get.
Yeah, and loose rocks on top of loose soil ! Just deadly! 💔😔
Rusty my brother, you somehow always manage to come along when I need you most, like a true friend in times of distress. One of my favorite content creators out there. What you do is a loving memory to those who have vanished and I respect you eternally for all the long hours and efforts you put into your craft my brother. Here’s to you, Rust!!!!
That’s such a nice thing to say to him for all the work & all the mentioning of many people we never heard of who have families still missing them to this day. It’s a way of saying your life mattered & your story lives forever in these videos for all to see. Thanks to Rusty....
Definitely not Rusty. Sounds like Karl.
His timing was terrible. Those first two storms were extreme and rapid. I was certain, from personal experience, he'd not survive the second.
Too many people do go unprepared for the possibility of being stranded or injured on short hikes.
Gear for emergency, water, and food should always be part of the plan. You can use it later if you don't need it, but to need and not have is condemning yourself to desperate circumstances should anything go wrong.
Mahe Ohna ✌️ Favour ALL
Rus I think that we in UK pushed for more media coverage because he was so well known. His brother thinks he is gone but until a body is found its not easy.
We missed you Rusty❤
I live near Mt. Baldy and those mountains are amazingly beautiful ... I love going up there but I stay close to the road... thanks for all your videos Rusty.
Had my first job interview in Rancho Cucamonga many years ago. At the time, I had no idea Mt. Baldy was basically within arms reach.
I remember when there was no Rancho Cucamonga! Just Cucamonga and Alta Loma! Then they started renaming all the old towns "Rancho" this or that! That's when 'my' California changed, now it's unrecognizable.
@@Bettinasisrg Yep just Cucamonga.... those were better days in Southern California no doubt.
I get nervous hiking up near Baldy. There is loose scrabble, boulders and a lot of drops and climbs. Not an ideal hike for a lone 60 year old, even as fit and experienced as people say he was.
I remember when the 210 ended at Alta Loma. Now Rancho is a densely populated thriving city with good shopping and Bass Pro Shop. 😂😂
With the amount of snow this year finding anybody who has been missing will have to wait until it all has melted.
Bless those who are missing and family and friends that are hurting! RIP 🙏
It has been melting, though fairly slowly. The temperatures have been cool this winter and there have been several rainstorms since the storms that set in during the weeks after the search started. We did a short hike from Baldy Village in November: The temperature dropped significantly in the afternoon and there were patches of snow on the ground. From then, it only got colder and wetter (rain).
I thought he'd be found, perhaps injured, within a week, but when that time passed, I figured he probably wouldn't be found alive. The weather was just too bad, and he didn't have supplies or food for a prolonged hike. Damn...😢
Them storms were terrible up there that year. Just over and over, the storms howled and blew ! They just would not Stop hardly ! 😔💔 People should have never went up there... and NEVER ALONE ! Even in good summer weather let alone winter weather . Please...never hike alone . It just helps cut the risk of outcomes being tragedies .💔😔
Our local mountains are beautiful. It makes me sad to hear of those who have gone missing there. I hope the families of all those who are missing find some kind of closure. 🙏
Thank you Rusty for sharing and caring. ✌🏼
Beautiful and dangerous. Not the first time, sadly.
The family want him to stay on that mountain. They do not wish to search for his body which I find very odd. The weather is fine now and newsreports still state the bad weather is a hindrance which is totally false. From the few things that a couple of members of his family have said about his disappearance I find they have turned the page very quickly.
Maybe, since Julian was a hiking enthusiast, his family thought that he would like his final resting place to be in the mountains.
Went up to Baldy the same week, cars everywhere, snow everywhere, couldn’t even get up.
Is it just me or does the idea of a winter hike seem like the opposite of a good time?
Lol MsMeg! I love a good winter hike but I keep ‘em short, sweet, and level!! This business of climbing harsh mountains well known for extreme weather…. Yeah not so much.
I'll take the beach.
Some of the terrain there looks very crumbly and slippy. I think he lost his footing and tumbled down somewhere. Hopefully his family and friends will have some sort of closure very soon. I read Stephen King's book Misery, a great read!. Thanks Rusty, great work as always.
Julian was an avid hiker and friends said he would have died doing what he loved. I pray for a miracle. I thought he was very handsome.
Yes Me too Ma'am , and his voice was dreamy . May he RIP . 💔😔
Record snow fall in California; he's buried or slid into a crevasse.
Thanks for covering this case!
Hey Rusty, which part of the country do you call home? You have a distinctive accent, regarding Julian Sands, do you think you will be following up on the case down the line?
I’ve “practiced” 4 season alpine techniques in January, in the San Gergonio wilderness. I use quotes because once you’re 1/4 mile up trail there’s nothing “practicing” about it. We were equipped with crampons, snow shoes, Yak Trax, ice axes, quality eye protection & appropriate clothing. We are all reasonably experienced backpackers and had just summited Gergonio the previous November. We carried ropes, rigging, and survival gear. And we were all late 30’s to early 50’s. Friends from work, we all did construction, warehousing or loading trucks. In shape, hardworking men. Competent men. It was BRUTAL. Some of the hardest aerobic exercise I’ve done. You’re never 100% certain where the trail is. There are tree wells deep enough to tumble into, snow collapses in on top of you & you’re essentially buried in acoustic deadening aggregate. Like being buried in sand at the beach. Sure you carry a mountaineers snow shovel. On your back. It can be worthless if buried headfirst in a tree well. There are snow bridges over ice. So one step you’re on powder, the next your lead foot splits out from under you. And as silly as this may sound it’s super easy to just walk right off a switchback and find yourself tumbling ass over tea cup down a 30% grade. Then into a tree well. Head first. Good luck self arresting tumbling down a snow covered wall that you’d abseil down under normal conditions. I kid you not, there’s 1,000 ways to get your ticket punched up there from December through March/April. Just like Mt Hood in Oregon, people underestimate it because there are shopping malls 30 miles away. Again I’m not claiming to be a super alpinist but we weren’t bumpkins with REI tags still on our gear, either. Wanna stay on the audience side of Rusty’s videos? Know what you don’t know. Never underestimate 4 season trekking. And never hike alone. Hate to say it but there’s just too many competent individuals “getting lost” in recent years.
Never Hike Alone . Is Key !! 😔💔
Thank you for that vivid terrifying view. Too scary. I guess if you have a good life. Secure, predictable and loved you have to create death.
Absolutely agree, I think some just think, oh let's go for a hike in the snow" not realizing the real elements & dangers of the wilderness, even if it is somewhat close to civilization
Excellent video, Rusty. Please keep 'em coming!😀
I think Julian will be found when the snow melts, and there's more traffic on Mt Baldy.
Anytime that "Devil's" or "Hell's" is in the name of a place, it's there for good reason.
I love Julian Sands. This is so sad,
He was 65.
That's very old for extreme winter wildernessing.
Every hiker who doesn’t come back is a loss & a horrible heartbreak for some family & friends somewhere...I cannot imagine the state of trauma & the lack of closure for a family who may never be able to give their loved one a proper farewell & burial. May they rest in eternal peace wherever they may be.
Thanks for posting, Rusty 🌿
& ''Hello folks!..."
Julian, you were a legend. Godspeed. My favorite movie with him (albeit a bit part) Oxford Blues.😢
I loved the warlock movies when I was younger. Haven’t seen them in years. Hope they find him 🙏🏻
Ayyyyy, Rusty! We need WAY more videos from you, bud.
YES WE DO….
Yesssss !!!
Tell me about😩💞I be ready tho.
Yes!! Especially another upload of spooky stories, please!
Agreed!!
Been awhile! So glad u put vid out today! Haven't heard much about sands since few weeks after it happened. I thought something, clothing, tent, bottles/camp dishes etc wld b found by now. It's a weird case. Literally like he was just there, then disappeared. I guess we will not know until something is found. So sorry for the families/freinds of any of these odd ,strange. Disappearances.
It seems he went on a day hike. The terrain around Mt. San Antonio/Mt Baldy can be treacherous, and there are plenty of ravines to slide into. Down the mountain, we all knew the storms were coming. It seems he may have wanted to get his hike in before they did.
I can't believe they haven't found him yet. I enjoyed every movie he took part in, from Room With A View to Warlock and even Rose Red. I fear he has passed away. I hope for his families sake they find his remains.
😔 yes, he has more than likely...passed away 😔 I personally loved his movies. My 2 favorite of his are also some of his strangest films .
"Naked lunch" , is one and "Boxing Helena" the other. It's so sad about all this and I hope his family is okay .😔
RIP Sweet Souls, all who are missing and have passed on. 💔😔
@@cowboykelly6590 Boxing Helena was such an interesting movie! I always partnered it with Fatal Attraction as a stalker movie, but this was more psychologically disturbing. I had forgotten about Naked Lunch. I'll have to watch them again.
I always liked 'Tale Of A Vampire' from 1992. Julian was such a distinctive actor.
I'm so surprised he didn't has a GPS location device. The only reason I don't is because a good one is hundreds or thousands of dollars but he could totally afford it!. Sad, he seems like a good guy.
I didn’t realise a GPS was so expensive but I’m surprised you can’t hire one, after all it could save your life and what’s more important.
You can rent one for the weekend, very affordable, an adequate emergency beacon is 200-400 dollars
New Rusty video!!! Yes!!
Gonna throw another log on that fire,'cause it's story tellen' time ❤
me 2 she's lookin a little low!
🤔🤔Hey rusty I can't believe actor julian sands still hasn't been found or recovered yet but I still hold out hope that he's probably injured or simply became lost while hiking in the area or there's a possibility that he is not going to be found his family and friends deserve some answers and closure for their missing love one my prayers 🙏😢 julian will be found very very soon😢
There is nothing mysterious about Sands' disappearance, or many others. As the newscaster mentioned, he went hiking in a dangerous place under difficult conditions. Several others also got lost and died.
Mother Nature is a cold hearted bitch who doesn't suffer fools lightly.
I'm absolutely heartbroken 💔 such a beautiful soul Julian...sad to say that I'm sure he's gone ..I truly hope they recover his remains so his family can have some closure...my heart goes out to them...
Jillian is a females name, a man from England is missing, his name is Julian Sands
@@bethewalt7385 yeah I know....ya troll lol
@jeepwj and you are a kind soul. I'm happy to hear Julian's remains were found.
@@terrycanales23 I am too...I'm happy his family can finally get closure...
This is a mystery as to his disappearance. It is always a pleasure hearing from you Rusty. Much thanks. from western Colorado.
There can only be 4 possibility in any disappearance. 1, accident 2 foul ay 3 predator attack 4 by theory own hand, be it death or buggering off. No aliens, no bigfoot, no paranormal activity of any sort because none of that shit is real.
Rustyyyyy! Thanks for the vid 😮
I like your narration style and your retro sounding voice. Very reminiscent of something you would have heard 50 years or more ago. Don't change .
Man I sure hope his family gets the closure they deserve!
I frequent Baldy often in Winter to prep for bigger climbs up North in the Sierras, my 2 cents is he might have traversed into the more treacherous Northern face of the mountain. Weather conditions were very inclement on the day he set out and, perhaps through error or unfamiliarity or poor visibility or all the above, became disoriented and wandered off in the wrong direction when he reached the peak or neared it. The Northern side of Baldy has some very steep drops and avalanches are not unheard of in the area, especially now more than ever with the monster of a Winter we had this year. The snow pack was immense this year. I take Mr. Sands may have fallen to his death and remains have been obscured by the following days of snowstorms or walked into avalanche territory. It would certainly explain why S&R failed to turn anything up in all these months.
There's nothing at all surprising about this disappearance, I'm certain Mr. Sands remains should turn up around Summer time. As you already covered extensively before, we gets deaths on Baldy every years from misadventurers, typically amateurs. Although besides being a Celeb, Mr. Sands was accomplished mountaineer which gave me a little more hope about his chances of survival. That's out of the question now obviously.
I feel he has passed away by now. It's been 3 months now. It's sad when people go missing I hope they find his body for the families sake
Yes Ma'am.. 💔😔 RIP 😔💔
Hey Thanks always great video enjoy the information you provide. until the next one thanks
Thanks Rusty! your the best!
Awesome! Another super cool video from sir west! 😊. Thank you sir! Hugs
Back in the 90s a few of us hiked to the base of a 300 foot dry falls in the Huachuca Mountains of southern Arizona. After just a few minutes right in front of us noises, sounding like a very loud "crack", was created by a large rocks hitting the limestone creek bed and shattering. I looked up and saw a bowling ball sized rock coming right towards me. It hit just a couple feet from where I was standing. The shrapnel knocked me off my feet and my knee and I busted from the fall. It was obvious that some derelicts were throwing rocks down the falls. We yelled and things got real quiet. I limped back to the trailhead with my bloody knee. I'm fine, thanks. The point, of course, is Don't throw rocks down a ledge when you don't know what's at the bottom. It could have been a lot worse.
Well you will always have stupid, seems like some people are just getting dumber, glad you were ok
Beautiful man. So sad 😢
I’ve climbed several 14r mountains in Colorado . I did a peak solo … man I probably won’t ever do that again . I got a bit over confident and did a little off trail free climbing (nothing insane but some good height ) and when I came back down it’s like … it’s like I was teleported to a different location . I know I know .. sounds unrealistic . But I swear I climbed up and I climbed down and it seemed like it was a complete different place . The trail was no where in sight and I was still close to the peak .I wondered around for a while and the reality of the situation hit em . If I didn’t find the trail again I’d be in BIG trouble as it was getting on in the day . I finally stumbled back to the trail and got outta there alive . But man , sometimes I feel like the mountains move around and can sense when you’re alone or in small groups . The mountain felt like it was trapping me but showed me mercy because it’s not like I saw the trail and walked towards it . I was just walking , looked around and I was on the trail. Thank you God
@irvv your episode is bizarre and scary. I've heard other stories like yours. It's definitely real. I'm glad you made it back safely, but not because of anything you did. It's seems like something decided to release you. Please stay safe, no more solos.
@@terrycanales23 this comment gave me chills . I seem to get out of sticky situations with no decision of my own . It’s making a religious man out of me , or atleast a skeptic of this thing we call humanity . Thank you for your advice. It will be followed throughly .
Welcome back Rusty!
I am also a Yorkshire lady coming from 13 miles away from his place of birth. I feel we have lost him to the weather and maybe a fall on the slopes of Mt Baldy so feeling that I send my love and best wishes to his family in Gargrave I myself am a Giggleswick girl feeling sad at the loss of this great actor..RIP😮💨😮💨😥😥
He could be on the side of a trail....30 feet below where the searchers are above him.
Hi Rusty watint patienly for your videos God bless you and all your lobe ones. Grandmomm from virginia
dont go hiking alone people
Welcome back, once again. I always look for your videos. 👍 the disappearances continue and I think it will continue as long as people go hiking solo! I love these study cases video, I finding them excellent and very much interesting.
Too sad that Mr. Julian Sands wasn’t found. I wonder what happened and what was on his mind. Very intriguing case. Tragic as well.
Animal predation is messy. Unlike humans, animals make no effort in hiding what they did. If they were using dogs, they would have picked up on this easily.
The pictures of the area you showed indicated large areas of loose gravel like material on the mountain. It would be possible for someone to fall into one of those ravines and in a avalanche including that material to disappear under it.
I think in some of these mountainous areas, there had been prospecting for and extraction of minerals through mines. Many of these old mines have air shafts, cave-ins and shafts created by erosion into them. I'm not sure all of these mines are known and even if a mine is known, once the main opening is closed, other openings that I mentioned before might exist or appear over time. Someone could fall through one of these and disappear, and the opening wouldn't be obvious or close up again.
Your the best rusty wish we could have more content but I appreciate you are a busy man!peace brother✌️
He knew it was dangerous to climb that mountain in January. He new about the weather, and yet he decided to go climbing. It seemed Julian had a death wish. Very sad, Rest in Peace
How do you know he knew the weather was going to get bad
How do we know his going out there was his own choice ? Look up Gematria Affect News. It's all scripted .....Murder by Numbers .... with the elite.
You would think that with all the stories about missing hikers that NOBODY would go hiking alone or without an emergency beacon.
It seems like a no-brainer to me!
🤠🤙
Mt Baldy….way to much snow still up there….they won’t find his body until summer probably.
Why don’t they (whoever they are) close the most dangerous trails in winter Or make a qualifying Baldy safety course before hand.
If you're referring to Julian Sands, he was apparently very familiar with Mt. Baldy and hiked there frequently. He was also a very experienced outdoorsman, from what I've read. Sometimes, accidents happen, no matter your experience or fitness level.
Hi rusty :) love your voice
Hello Rusty great to see your post hope your doing and family ,My thoughts go out to all the famlies of The missing .
I will sit back listen Thank you Rusty for remembering The missing souls .
Yvonne mullion Cornwall England
Hope your doing well Rusty .
So sad, do not hike alone!
Holy cow I was not paying attention. Had no idea beautiful Julian Sands had gone missing. 💔
Thank you. 😊
Hey, Rusty! ❤ 🫂
Thank you Rusty The one thing that bothers me is Why people take such dangerous Places to hike Without a location Baecon I can except wanting to be on your own ,But I just dont understand people Not taking precautions especially out in the wilderness areas .
There is another case that you spoke about that's of Serinnity little Giles who vanished who left the childrens home Which very sadly was the last anyone ever saw of her ,So Heart breaking ❤
My thoughts go out to all the families of missing souls .
Please take location Beacon with you out hiking camping
Yvonne mullion Cornwall England
Your Advice is truly the right thing to do Ma'am . All disappearances are so very heartbreaking . RIP Sweet Souls . 😔💔
P.S. I think also , these kind of disappearances would go down drastically if people would not go Hiking Alone. 💔
Take someone with you.
Thank you soooo much for the postcard 💜
Hi Rusty! Sure have missed you. Love your voice! Your channel is the Bomb!
Thanks!
Thank you Vexx, I do appreciate that. Send me your address and I'll be happy to send ya a postcard. -Rusty top10strangeworld@gmail.com
Well written and spoken! Keep wells❤ Rusty
We miss you, Rusty!!!!!
Thank you Rusty ~ great coverage.
Prayers for Julian, and his family.
❤🙏
Thanks Rusty, always good stuff here.
Holy Shit!! I had no idea that had happened to him!! A tragic loss as he was a fantastic actor and undoubtedly truly loved by all!!😔😔😔😔😔
As long as Julian remains missing and his body is not found I shall console myself that he's simply done what only the Warlock could do...jump forward in time a few hundred years! ❤
Thanks, Rusty, for going into this case so thoroughly. I especially like all of the scenarios, despite how farfetched some may be. I grew up in the mountains of Oregon, so I know how easily it is to get turned around and simply disappear; my cousin was one of the Boy Scouts that fell on Mt. Theilson in 1967. 😢 I hope he has a better outcome, but I don't think that'll be the case after this length of time. My heart goes out to his wife.
Im sorry for all the people that disappeared on the mountain, what a shame they never came home.
They were doing what they loved.
Do they use drones in missing situations in rhese parks? Are they all federal land?
I wonder if the family or his colleagues were able to use private helicopters and searchers to locate him.
I am not sure of the laws of these parks but its such a common occurance with missing persons in these parks that perhaps the actual parks should install digital tracking via a watch and towers within so they can be found on any part of the trail and raise an alarm if need be.
It is awful for anyone to be in limbo about the wherebaouts of a loved one😢
I hope his family find closure.
I have a feeling if he is found, it will be within the span of a long time. Or, he won't be be found at all. May he Rest in Peace
Well that covers everything, in fact you've overstated the obvious, the first 6 months plus have passed, no Julian, therefore the ONLY CHOICES ARE, a long span of time will pass, his remains will be found OR, drum roll please, he'll never be found, uhhh duh, hello!? So stupid
Very sad Thanks for a great video Rusty!
Thank you for this!
On jest szczęśliwy w zaświatach.Dal światu już wszystko,co mógł najlepszego.Tylu innych zaginęło,ich ciała gdzieś tam leżą,trzeba pamiętać,że zginęli w miejscu,które kochali to szczęście.Mozna się jedynie za nich wszystkich pomodlić
Amen 💔😔
Totally agree 🙏🙏🙏
He must not have watched your videos Rusty because, he would have known rule #1. NEVER GO HIKING ALONE!
Hello Folks! Thank you Rusty!🎉 My #1❤
😬 i refuse to give up
We had massive back to back to back winter Storms during this time, I remember hunkering down, shoot, my dogs didn't even want to go outside, massive winds blew a piece of my brick roof, bad news
thank you Rusty..so weird how this guy just gone
Just like many others who decide to HIKE ALONE ! RIP Sweet Souls
Anyone embarking on a risky outing like this one should have a satellite / GPS communications device. There are several good options. A little pricey, but an ESSENTIAL safety item.
A severely sprained ankle could be enough to turn a risky outing into a very tragic one and being able to call for help with location could dramatically increase the chances of survival when a situation turns from bad to worse.
I remember David Paulides mentioning to be wary of any hike or trail called the 'Devils.....'
I’ve hiked mt baldy in snow, rain and extreme hot conditions. I went to mt baldy about two months ago with snowy conditions and it was extremely cold with winds packing the snow onto the trail making it super hard to keep track. I had to cut the trip short after noticing I didn’t see anybody coming back down or down. I’m a avid hiker but that time was pretty intense I’d have to say.
I'm from this area and have done baldy in every type of condition as well as all the other surrounding peaks this was one of the most brutal winters we've had in 20 years with the absolute worst alpine conditions we've already lost quite a few in the hiking community he's gone and once all the snow melts they will find him unfortunately.
I have this sinking feeling that he slipped and fell. When the weather gets better his remains will be found. Probably in a crevice somewhere, unfortunately. Really sad. I was completely shocked when I first heard the news of his disappearance. I am a fan of his and first saw him in the KILLING FIELDS. I have a couple of his movies. His acting is a little odd, but I think that's what makes him who he is. My favorite was WARLOCK, both series. I loved the EVIL HIM. The lady's eyeballs in his hands that were rolling on their own. I LOVED IT. He was also in BLACK WATER, which wasn't mentioned, but this isn't about his biography. He also was in William Burrough's film from his book. So many films. Hopefully, he ran away for a little while, but doubtful. He was happy in love and in career. And he had a meet up with his brothers which he didn't make an appearance. Really sad and shocking and heartbreaking. And for all the missing really. Perhaps they should consider closing the trail and banning the hiking. 💔😥.
