Has anyone heard/seen any information on a missing US Marine here in Colorado?

4.43K

David Cook from Albuquerque went hiking alone in the mountains near Aspen on 9/20 and has not been heard from since. He expressed interest in climbing some 14'ers specifically the Maroon Bells. Local search efforts have been suspended. This is very rugged territory. Anyone know or hear anything, the family would like to hear.

Just as stated. Search suspended until something concrete comes up. That area is designated wilderness for a reason. Born and raised here, so I have a respect for the mountains, and how quick someone can just vanish.

I don't understand how anyone, especially someone described as an "expert mountaineer", would dream of going hiking/mountaineering alone without a Satellite GPS locator such as the Spot Communicator. It's just plain stupid and may have cost Dave Cook his life.
