The actor's family shared a message of thanks for the 'heroic' search teams.
Sands was reported missing at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 13 after hiking the Baldy Bowl Trail in San Bernardino County, around 30 miles from Los Angeles. The British actor's car was located on the mountain four days into the search. Sands' son Henry Sands also joined the search by retracing the route he took with an experienced climber.
Cell phone pings from the actor's iPhone showed evidence that he was nearing Mount Baldy's summit at the time of his disappearance, according to theRescue efforts on the mountain have been hindered by the winter storms that hit California earlier this month. On Friday, the sheriff's office reported that evidence of avalanches in the area limited the search to helicopter only, as authorities continue to attempt to locate Sands through his cell phone.
