Lost hiker found safe after search in Wolfeboro

WOLFEBORO NH — A Wolfeboro man missing in the woods was found after a search lasting about 21⁄2 hours on Thursday.

Robert Demaree of Camp School Road called 911 on his cell phone at about 5:45 p.m. and told authorities he had become lost while hiking in the Camp School Road/Rust Pond/Winnipesaukee Golf Club area.

Responders were able to narrow down his location by using sirens and asking Demaree by phone if he could hear them. A Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue crew located Demaree on a snowmobile trail off Pleasant Valley Road at about 8:20 p.m. He was transported out of the woods via the Fire-Rescue Department's Gator. Demaree was not injured.

Wolfeboro Fire-Rescue was assisted at the scene by the Wolfeboro Police Department and canine Blek, New Durham Fire-Rescue, and Stewarts Ambulance.

N.H. Fish and Game was en route to the scene when the subject was found.
