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.

BROOKFIELD, N.H. — New Hampshire conservation officers and volunteer firemen have rescued a 61-year-old hiker who injured his knee near the summit of Copple Crown Mountain in Brookfield.

Officials say 61-year-old Richard Healey of Wolfeboro and his wife, Maxine, had reached the top of the mountain Thursday when he slipped and injured his knee. His wife used a cellphone to summons help.

Rescued Dog from Colorado Mountain top now the center of a custody battle

Missy's rescue team (Life Savers!)

This owner should never be allowed to be within 500 yards of an animal ever again!  He has the nerve to want Missy back after never reporting her hurt or stranded and basically left for dead.  If it was himself or his immediate family I would be willing to bet he would call for help.  Lock him up!  Poor Missy should never be    exposed to this man ever again.  I am outraged and hope this man is never allowed custody of this beautiful dog, EVER AGAIN!
