The phone belonging to British actor Julian Sands appears to show he was alive and on the move in the mountains of southern California two days after he was reported missing.
The search continued yesterday for Sands, 65, who was reported missing during a hiking trip in the Baldy Bowl area of the San Gabriel mountains last Friday, using “helicopter and drones when weather permits”.
An update from San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said phone pings showed the Yorkshire-born actor, who featured in the film A Room with a View, “to be heading to the Mount Baldy area” on January 15, 48 hours after he was first reported missing.
The statement continued: “Additional phone pings from the cell provider were attempted but were unsuccessful, due to the lack of cell service and most likely cell phone power failure.”
