Wilderness Search In Altmar

Hamlet of Altmar

Oswego County

Wilderness Search: On Oct. 3, 2024 at 9:38 p.m., the Oswego County Search and Rescue Team called Acting Forest Ranger Captain Virkler about a search for a 61-year-old subject from Massachusetts. The subject had last been seen heading toward a hunting camp near the Salmon River Fish Hatchery. Oswego County and New York State Police deployed two K9 units and seven drones in the search. Eight Rangers joined the search and learned the subject had health concerns. At 10:30 p.m., Rangers located the subject’s ATV on a trail and continued searching for them. On Oct. 4 at 12:40 p.m., search crews located the subject in good health and turned him over to EMS. Over the course of the day, 45 searchers from multiple agencies worked together to provide a successful outcome.
