A 75-year-old man from Maine, Michael Altmaier, was located after being in the wild for four days, officials announced on Facebook Saturday morning.
A 75-year-old Maine man who had been missing for four days was located 'alive and well,' officials said. Michael Altmaier of New Sharon had not been seen since July 8 after leaving his home while on his way to a meeting in Weld, but he never arrived. His car was located days later by Mount Blue State Park staff at the park's scenic overlook, which is off Center Hill Road in Weld, the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife posted to Facebook.
Investigators believe Altmaier fell down an embankment Monday and became disoriented. 'Emergency Rescue Personnel said Altmaier was in surprisingly good condition despite spending the last 4 days laying in the area of the bog,' the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife said. The department's Facebook post has garnered hundreds of comments praising the multi-agency rescue. 'Considering the heat, humidity, and remains of Beryl he endured, it is a remarkable outcome,' one Facebook user wrote.
