Nevada County deputies found a lost Red Cross volunteer before dawn

Three Nevada County sheriff's deputies found a lost American Red Cross volunteer after searching through the night, CBS Sacramento reported on Oct. 29. The sheriff's office named them as Bryce Bouchard, Charles Raban, and Kayla Ramos. Representatives of the California Gold Country Region of the American Red Cross later brought a certificate of appreciation to the sheriff's office.

The office said that on Aug. 28 the volunteer was taking supplies from Yuba City to Reno and was not from the area. After more than ten hours with no word, the volunteer's team filed a missing-person report shortly before 9:30 p.m. Bouchard, Raban, and Ramos learned he had left his phone at a hotel in Yuba City. A GPS track on the vehicle placed it in a remote area near Nevada City, off Lazy Dog Road.

The deputies searched dirt trails through the night. Around 2 a.m. they found the volunteer and the vehicle on the side of a cliff. The report does not give the volunteer's name, and it does not describe his condition after he was found.
