Two hikers reported missing late Friday night
were found safe Saturday afternoon in the
Pyramid Lakes area. Melody Braden and Raymond Sayers, both 22 and from Bonners Ferry, had gone hiking Friday. When a family member confirmed that their car was still at the trailhead at about midnight, the sheriff's office was notified and a search launched at first light Saturday. In addition to sheriff's deputies, family members and friends, members of the sheriff's posse, Boundary Search and Dive Rescue, the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Border Patrol took part in the search, which ended in the early afternoon when the two were found safe. |
