UPDATE #3 from the pages of Carson May's Memorial Fund site at:

https://www.gofundme.com/carsonmaymemorial 

Tuesday, March 1, 2016 

 

On leap day, February 29, 2016, Carson May was found by Tahoe Nordic and Eldorado County search and rescue teams outside the Sugar Bowl ski area. A 3 year-old

female German Shepherd named Beaujet alerted on a spot and dug down 5 feet to where Carson has been buried under snow for nearly 6 weeks. Beaujet’s handler

turns out to be part of the extended family/friend network. She said Carson looked handsome and peaceful when Beaujet uncovered him. Our deepest gratitude

to the search teams yesterday including another Shepherd named Mika and to all those who have looked from the beginning through this successful discovery

of Carson.

 

We can only speculate that Carson got disoriented when skiing outside runs he was familiar with and got caught in an avalanche. He was found in the vicinity

of his cell phone ping. We know that the accuracy of that ping was questionable and you can’t dig everywhere for hundreds of square yards.

Thank you for the contributions to the Carson GoFundMe campaign where the goal is to save a life by adding early detection technology to the traditional

SAR tools. We have a number of interesting leads toward identifying the latest location technology and figuring out what might be developed and what laws

can be modified to allow exceptions for finding a missing person.

 

You can actively remember Carson by joining our Cycle for Sight event April 16 in Napa and joining the Carson May Memorial team. There will be a memorial

April 24 in Davis per the link on this site.

 

Even though Carson has been found, please keep the funds, ideas and contacts coming as his creativity, brilliance and tenacity lives into the future.

 

Love from Carson’s dad and all the family

Carson went missing while skiing at Sugarbowl on January 14th, 2016 and has not yet been found. Traditional search and rescue efforts were monumental,

but not successful. Several technologies could not be deployed quickly because of privacy limitations, jurisdictional issues, and lack of prompt availability. 

 

Our goal is to ensure that future search teams are aware of, and have quick access to, state of the art SAR technology tools. Details about Carson's search

and information about the resources we discover will be posted at 

www.carsonmay <http://www.carsonmay> 

http://www.CarsonMay.org

 

Carson would be the first to rant about how bad the tech was in this situation and how we could make it better for someone else in the future. If we save

one life, we are successful and we honor Carson.

 

-With love from Carson's dad and family
