Authorities were still searching for a missing hiker Tuesday morning at a state park in Northwest Arkansas.
Arkansas State Parks spokeswoman Meg Matthews said crews from several counties as well as the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism were combing over Devil’s Den State Park to find a man who was reported missing Sunday.
The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that Rodney Letterman, 33, of Bartlesville, Okla., was last seen hiking on Butterfield Trail. Searchers have found his cellphone, a Devil's Den official told the newspaper.
Letterman was reportedly hiking with another man, who went back to his car to retrieve medication. According to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, when he returned, the 33-year-old was gone. His hiking partner told authorities that he doesn't have a pack but did have about 1.5 liters of water, the newspaper reported.
Officials searched into the late-night hours Sunday before calling off the search. It resumed for most of Monday and continued Tuesday, with searchers using ATVs and horses, as well as walking the trails.
