Jonathan M. Mcnabb was 28 when he was last seen on February 7, 1998, after being dropped off past Shepherd Saddle Road on North Fork Drive in Sequoia National Park. He planned to hike about 20 miles to Lodgepole to retrieve his mail, a trip he expected to take 16 to 18 hours, and never arrived.

Mcnabb is described as a white male, 5 feet 2 inches tall, 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was reportedly wearing a dark blue ski jacket, black Levi’s, black leather hiking boots, and a black baseball cap, and carrying a dark duffel bag. A friend reported him missing when he failed to arrive.

Searchers focused on the Colony Mill Road trail, using sheriff’s volunteers, about 20 park personnel, snowmobiles, search dogs and a Lemoore Naval Air helicopter for a grid search. Fresh snow complicated tracking and no trace was found. The case remains unsolved; the National Park Service still lists him as missing.

If anyone has information about where Mcnabb was headed or saw him in Sequoia National Park that day, please contact Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park.
