46, if you want to come down that road and park at the second yellow gate, yellow gate that's on the left there, that's the area of the coordinates,

maybe with some guys on foot on some of those paths.
00:51
We'll be down to that gate momentarily.
00:58
Chief 2, the Chief 54.
01:03
Go ahead.
01:08
Well, I have Josh up here in UTV 54, he's going to come down to you have a location you want him at.
01:17
Yeah, if you want to just follow the side-by-side tracks that go up in in the woods just past the concrete barrier and just go up in that area.
01:32
Probably that.
01:38
Good.
01:48
Any luck in locating these people or their vehicle or anything further?
01:56
Negative.
02:01
Okay.
02:03
And you guys already covered that road all the way from Middleport to Kastka?
02:09
Affirmative.
02:11
Okay.
02:13
Okay. Thank you, too.
02:19
Shoot two.
02:22
Will Watsville City drone services be available?
02:27
I can page you, Matthew.
02:29
Looking for fire department?
02:33
Affirmative whoever has the ownership of the drones.
02:37
Okay, State Police is going to have a helicopter call as well.
02:41
624.
02:47
Chief two, G54.
02:51
Cheap two. Hey,
02:54
I have a phone number for (name withheld).
02:56
He offered to fly his drone if we need him.
02:59
I can give him a call and see if he can come out.
03:04
If he's willing to, sure.
03:07
If he's willing to, sure.
03:11
541 to Chief 2.
03:16
Chief Sue.
03:20
Bill said he was all over the place back there by the swampy and he didn't see nothing.
03:26
There's absolutely no tracks that turn off this road anywhere else but that one place.
03:32
He said he was going to go drop this plow and come back out but he said he didn't see anybody in that general area.
03:36
So I don't know if they don't know where they're at, but I highly doubt they're on this road.
03:43
The phone stings on that location though.
03:49
Which location exactly was that?
03:52
Right where we left the Old Millport Road towards the swampy.
04:00
Well, somebody in the yellow jeep went back there too.
04:04
That would make sense, but that road I'll guarantee if they're in a car.
04:07
They're not going to make it very far back that road because it's blocked off in there's very large puddles that, I mean, very only like an ATV can get through.
04:17
Yeah, I just went through that road with all large puddles.
04:22
So you see what I mean, eh?
04:28
Like I said, I know as of 1.30 last night,
04:32
there was no tracks on this road, because I came up through,
04:36
and I only made it right to like the 7 C's before I had to use 4-wheel drive.
04:39
So if they're in a car, they wouldn't even make it.
04:46
These two.
04:50
We have no idea what kind of vehicle these people were in.
04:55
I'm not sure if...
05:00
I don't know if they were in a regular car or a SUV four-wheel drive.
05:05
We have none of that information, but they were no longer with the vehicle when we had them on the phone.
05:13
Okay, we've covered a lot of territory out here, a lot of these dirt roads, there's nothing, not even any tracks that are recent, no footprints, nothing.
05:23
And we have, I guess,
05:26
54 engineer on the phone saying somebody contacted him and told him they pulled a white jeep out with three people an hour ago.
05:33
I mean, if that's the case, we're not even an hour old into this call, so I'm not really sure if they got stuck again or if this is even related.
05:40
We put him through the state, please.
05:43
Okay.
05:48
I do have a page into G686 for the drone and states point a helicopter up.
05:58
Set for.
06:03
Gun, G68. G68.
06:07
G68.
06:10
We'll be going to get the drone and we'll be responding.
06:12
I'll let you know where it's fun.
06:15
Okay, Chief 2 has commandees over on Bravo 1 and they're staging at the old Blythe Township Municipal Building near Kaska on New Philadelphia Road.
