cmotherofpirl Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- The search for a missing 12-year-old Boy Scout in a mountainous area of Utah was officially labeled a recovery operation Tuesday as authorities all but gave up hope of finding the boy alive. "This is a great loss for my family right now," the boy's father, Kevin Bardsley, told reporters. Garrett Bardsley was last seen Friday morning, when his father sent him back to camp after the boy got his shoes and pants wet while fishing in a pond near a lake. The campsite has been described variously as 150 yards to a quarter mile from the lake on a well-established path. Dozens of searchers have spent the last three days searching for Garrett, who was wearing sweat pants, a T-shirt and a black hooded sweat shirt and tennis shoes. He had no food or backpack. The search has been hampered by cold, wet weather. Rain mixed with snow fell on searchers Monday, and the temperature plunged to 18 degrees overnight. On Tuesday, the high hovered around 50 degrees, said Sheriff Dave Edmunds. The official search likely will tail off by the end of the week, Edmunds said, "but we're never going to stop looking." The camp is located in the Uinta Mountains, east of Salt Lake City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
