FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Deputy Ray Gardner, who had recently completed training in search and rescue
operations for people with autism and was aboard the helicopter, said
LaFever would not have survived another 24 hours.
The helicopter took LaFever to a local hospital. The hospital said it could
not release any information on his condition.
LaFever was trying to get to Page because his father, John LaFever told him he
would wire money to him in there, the sheriff’s department said in a written
release.
William LaFever had called his father on June 6 or 7 to say he was hiking in
the Boulder area with his dog, and that someone had stolen some of his
hiking gear and he had run out of money. John LaFever told his son to catch
a ride to Page to collect the money.
Unbeknownst to his father, William LaFever apparently decided to hike down the
Escalante River and then hitch a boat ride along Lake Powell to Page, rather
than try to catch a ride, the sheriff’s department said.
LaFever set out along the river but ran out of food. His dog left him, and
LaFever began abandoning his gear until all he had was the clothing and
shoes he was wearing when he was found, the sheriff’s department said.
The dog hasn’t been seen since. Authorities do not know why the dog ran off,
Bronson said.
The early June phone call was the last time the family heard from LaFever, and
his sister reported him missing on Monday, the sheriff’s department said.
A telephone message left at the LaFevers’ home wasn’t immediately returned.
Gardner’s training in searching for people with autism taught him they are
naturally drawn to water, so the helicopter search focused on the Escalante
River, the department said.
The helicopter team spotted LaFever Thursday afternoon, sitting in the
Escalante River about five miles from Lake Powell, weakly waving at the
aircraft.
Gardner was dumbfounded when LaFever identified himself because of the long
odds of finding anyone in that country, the sheriff’s department said.
“In all my career I have never seen someone so emaciated,” Gardner was quoted
as saying in the sheriff’s department release. “I could not believe that he
was alive, and feel certain that in another 24 hours he would not have been
alive.”
Gardner didn’t immediately return a phone message late Thursday.
LaFever was so weak that he couldn’t stand, but he was so eager for human
contact that at first he would not stop talking long enough to eat or drink
anything, the sheriff’s department said. He eventually took a drink and ate
a granola bar.
