The Bootprint at the Notch: Why the Dogs Turned East

A single size 10½ left boot print in frozen soil pointed northwest from the granite edge of the Notch, but search dogs three miles back had stopped and one turned east - sending rescuers the wrong way for eleven days. How did a careful, experienced hiker vanish into repetition of trees and return to solid rock, leaving handlers and the final report with an unanswered contradiction?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline, the decisions and the field evidence that shaped the search for one man and the unanswered question that followed: did a single decision at a bend in the trail change everything, or did something about the scent and terrain mislead the dogs and the people who trusted them?

Person: Stanley Holmes
Date: November 9-22, 2022
Location: Ochre Pines forest, Hobb's Run bend and the Notch
Status: Found after eleven days; survived to tell parts of the story
Coordinator: Kathleen Clark, Ochre County search-and-rescue

- Stanley signed the trailhead register at Gulch Road at 7:52 AM on November 9.
- The initial search radius was set two miles from Hobb's Run bend based on probability methods.
- Doug Ferris's lead shepherd displayed a refusal posture at Hobb's Run, turned its head east and would not commit.
- A single size 10½ left boot print was found at the granite edge of the Notch on November 22 by county surveyor Vernon Zimmerman.
- Sixty-one pages of operational notes failed to resolve why dogs indicated east while Stanley had gone north.
