Air Patrol Helps Find Condon Couple

Two adults from Condon missing since Friday on a trip to Idaho, were found alive and well early Saturday morning by the Kootenai County Idaho Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the Civil Air Patrols Cellular Phone Forensic Team.  Lt. Col. Thomas Traver of the Oregon Wing Civil Air Patrol says the cell phone forensics team pinpointed where they could possibly be and their efforts provided a key clue that redirected the search and led to the rescue.  They were able to initially provide a relatively large search area followed by a much smaller search area, which then allowed local searchers to focus their efforts.  Ground search and rescue crews located the couple inside their car that had gotten stuck in the ice.  They were both in good condition since they had properly prepared for the trip with warm clothing, food, water and blankets.
