Emergency - Looking for Nephew

[Mary Tooles]

Hello AT Hikers - I am looking for my nephew, Jonathan Hogan. If anyone sees him, please tell him to call home immediately. He should be in N. Carolina about now. I appreciate your help. Picture attached. He is 23 years old. THANK YOU.

Would you happen to know if he has a trail name yet and if so what it is? Do you know if he has a trail journals account?

Do you believe something has happened to your nephew, or is there an emergency at home that requires him to get in contact with you? You may be able to contact the AT ranger at (304) 535-6278. There is only one ranger, as far as I know, but he may be able to give you some direction or get some folks involved to try to get a message to your nephew. I spoke with the ranger last year about this time regarding another incident, and he told me that occasionally they are called upon to try and get messages to hikers.

Mary you need to narrow it down, last time he called in where was he?

"serious family emergency"


Please help me! My nephew is in North or South Carolina on the trail without a cell phone. We have had a serious family emergency and I need to find him. What is the best way to do this?

Anyone know if this has been resolved? Anyone find him and get the message to him?

If he hasn't gone thru the smokies yet, I'd call and leave a message with the rangers there.
