Missing hunter found safe
October 2, 2014
A hunter missing overnight was found safe yesterday morning after an all-night search by Boundary Search and Dive Rescue, sheriff's deputies and a canine.

A helicopter search team from Fairchild Air Force Base had been put on stand by to assist in the search, but Alex Koberstein, who had walked for miles trying to find a main road, was found before they launched.

The search was in the Twenty Mile area near Naples. Mr. Koberstein's family said they hadn't heard from him for 14 hours, and were becoming increasingly worried. After his safe return, Mr. Koberstein recounted he had hiked over 30 miles before being found.

Alex and his family send out a big thanks to all who assisted.
