Julian Sand’s latest search fails
SAN BERNARDINO, California –
A weekend search for long-missing actor Julian Sands on Southern California’s Mount Baldy failed, authorities said.
Sands was reported missing in January after heading to Mount Baldy, which rises more than 10,000 feet east of Los Angeles and has been ravaged by severe storms in winter.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said the latest search was conducted Saturday by more than 80 search and rescue volunteers and deputies, two helicopters and drone crews.
Search teams were flown to remote areas and drones were used to search areas inaccessible to ground crews, the department said in a statement.
“Despite recent warmer weather, parts of the mountain remain inaccessible due to extreme mountain conditions,” the department said. “Multiple areas include steep terrain and canyons, which still have more than 10 feet of ice and snow.”
The department said it has conducted eight searches for Sands since January, and there have been eight other unrelated search and rescue operations in the Mount Baldy area.
Sands starred opposite Helena Bonham Carter in the 1985 British romance ‘A Room With a View’. He also had major roles in 1989’s ‘Warlock’, 1990’s ‘Arachnophobia’, 1991’s ‘Naked Lunch’, 1991’s ‘Boxing Helena’ 1993 and ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ from 1995.
