BERLIN, N.H. (AP) - Rescue teams and search dogs spent hours searching for a man who walked away from his caretaker before he was found safe, New Hampshire’s Fish and Game Department said.
George Crowley III, 58, of Berlin, New Hampshire, walked away from a residence at about 11 a.m. Monday. The caretaker called for immediate assistance once Crowley didn’t return after a short time.
K-9 teams searched a cellphone ping location and officers searched a river by kayak. After Crowley wasn’t found, more crews were assembled to search the woods.
A state police team driving up an access road found Crowley at about 5 p.m., within a quarter mile from where he was last seen.
Crowley, who appeared to have some small scrapes but was otherwise in good spirits, said he decided to take a walk up to wind towers at the top of a mountain, and that he spent some time in the woods.
