[Njagdu] Update on Mike May's son

[Ginger Kutsch]

UPDATE #3 from the page of Carson May's Memorial Fund at:

https://www.gofundme.com/carsonmaymemorial 

Tuesday, March 1, 2016 

 

On leap day, February 29, 2016, Carson May was found by Tahoe Nordic and
Eldorado County search and rescue teams outside the Sugar Bowl ski area. A 3
year-old

female German Shepherd named Beaujet alerted on a spot and dug down 5 feet
to where Carson has been buried under snow for nearly 6 weeks. Beaujet's
handler

turns out to be part of the extended family/friend network. She said Carson
looked handsome and peaceful when Beaujet uncovered him. Our deepest
gratitude

to the search teams yesterday including another Shepherd named Mika and to
all those who have looked from the beginning through this successful
discovery

of Carson.

 

We can only speculate that Carson got disoriented when skiing outside runs
he was familiar with and got caught in an avalanche. He was found in the
vicinity

of his cell phone ping. We know that the accuracy of that ping was
questionable and you can't dig everywhere for hundreds of square yards.

Thank you for the contributions to the Carson GoFundMe campaign where the
goal is to save a life by adding early detection technology to the
traditional

SAR tools. We have a number of interesting leads toward identifying the
latest location technology and figuring out what might be developed and what
laws

can be modified to allow exceptions for finding a missing person.

 

You can actively remember Carson by joining our Cycle for Sight event April
16 in Napa and joining the Carson May Memorial team. There will be a
memorial

April 24 in Davis per the link on this site.

 

Even though Carson has been found, please keep the funds, ideas and contacts
coming as his creativity, brilliance and tenacity lives into the future.

 

Love from Carson's dad and all the family

Carson went missing while skiing at Sugarbowl on January 14th, 2016 and has
not yet been found. Traditional search and rescue efforts were monumental,

but not successful. Several technologies could not be deployed quickly
because of privacy limitations, jurisdictional issues, and lack of prompt
availability. 

 

Our goal is to ensure that future search teams are aware of, and have quick
access to, state of the art SAR technology tools. Details about Carson's
search

and information about the resources we discover will be posted at 

www.carsonmay

http://www.CarsonMay.org

 

Carson would be the first to rant about how bad the tech was in this
situation and how we could make it better for someone else in the future. If
we save

one life, we are successful and we honor Carson.

 

-With love from Carson's dad and family
