Teams Searching for Missing Hikers on Akutan

Wednesday, September 19 2012

Search and rescue teams are looking for two missing hikers on Akutan Island. Both men are seafood-processing workers at the Trident plant. State Trooper Robin Morrisett says they left Tuesday morning to summit the island’s snow-capped volcano, but didn’t appear to be equipped to spend the night outside.

Trident and PenAir are assisting in a ground and air search. Morrisett says if they aren’t located soon, the Troopers will step in.
