As many as 70 emergency, law enforcement and search and rescue volunteers and professionals are on the hunt for a 17-year-old Medford boy who went missing on Mount McLoughlin during a hike with his church group Tuesday afternoon.
Max Burleigh was hiking with a group of eight other people when he got separated from them. He spent an hour or so trying to find them again before calling emergency services on his cell phone.
Search and rescue teams from Jackson, Josephine, Siskiyou, Klamath and Lake counties are participating in the search, along with air support and Jackson County SWAT team members.
They searched through the night to find him and continued their search this morning. Max does not have food or water and is wearing black and white plaid shorts, a blue T-shirt, gray sweatshirt and tennis shoes, a news release said.
Max has been in contact with his mother a few times on his phone through text messages and calls.
He has texted a picture of his location so emergency officials can narrow their search, said Lt. Pat Rowland, who head the Jackson County Search and Rescue team.
