ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (AP) - The search for a New Jersey man reported missing in Rocky Mountain National Park in north-central Colorado has been temporarily suspended due to weather.
Park officials say technical crews searching Longs Peak for 30-year-old Ryan Albert of Marlton, New Jersey, ran into extreme conditions on Tuesday including waist-deep snow drifts, wind, ice, cold temperatures and low visibility. The search was temporarily suspended due to a winter weather advisory issued for Wednesday.
Park spokeswoman Lindsey Lewis says Thursday’s weather forecast seems to show a bit of improvement, which should allow teams to resume the search.
