Andrew Porter of Asheville died along with Ian Stasko of Salt Lake City, Utah.
CONEJOS COUNTY, Colo. — Two out-of-state elk hunters who were reported missing in southern Colorado near the New Mexico border were found dead Thursday, sources tell 9NEWS.
On Saturday, the Conejos County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Rio De Los Pinos Trailhead attempting to make contact with two men who were reported to be overdue while elk hunting, according to a press release.
Andrew Porter of Asheville, North Carolina, and Ian Stasko of Salt Lake City, Utah, both 25, were in the the San Juan Wilderness area west of Trujillo Meadows Reservoir when they failed to check in with loved ones at a predetermined time, the sheriff’s office said.
Porter’s fiancée, Bridget Murphy, said on Facebook that they had not responded to anyone since last Thursday evening.
The vehicle that the men drove to the trailhead was located, but neither one of them was there. Camping gear and backpacks were located in the vehicle, which prompted deputies to become concerned due to heavy rain and bad weather in the area, according to the sheriff’s office.
Search and rescue operations were put into place immediately, CCSO said. Air operations, multi-county and state ground teams, dog teams, drone teams, ATVs and local volunteers were working the area.
Around 11 a.m. on Thursday, the sheriff’s office said the bodies of two unidentified men were recovered two miles from the Rio De Los Pinos Trail Head.
The sheriff’s office said it will release the identity of the men found after they are confirmed and next of kin is notified.
