Bear Valley, CA…As of March 19, 2018, no evidence which would help search and rescue personnel locate Mr. Mullarkey has been found. The Alpine county Sheriff’s Office is continuing to search for Mr. Mullarkey with the assistance of the Bear Valley Resort ski patrol and a military Black Hawk Helicopter. This evening a fixed wing aircraft equipped with a highly advanced surveillance system will continue the search.

If no information is gained after today’s search efforts, the Alpine County Sheriff’s Office will decrease resources and continue to search areas surrounding the resort as winter conditions become more stable and searchers can enter the backcountry safely.

If anyone has information that may lead to determining Mr. Mullarkey’s whereabouts, please call Undersheriff Spencer Case at (530) 694-2231 ex: 357.
