    Default There is a missing hiker in Dauphin PA

    I'm seeing reports of a missing hiker on the A.T. section hiker FB page. A woman named Mandii Quinn said she was going on a walk with her dog along the AT in Dauphin. She texted her husband around 8 pm saying to call police. They phone her car at the Lukes Trail head in Dauphin. Does anyone know if this connects with the AT? Search & Rescue has been out all night and can't find her. I'm still not seeing any official police reports. Here is the link to the FB page where you can see her picture with her dog. I thought I would spread the word in case anyone here was hiking that area yesterday. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...00000477388362

    thank goodness! I am so happy to read that she was found. I am certain her family is very relieved.

    Why did she text her husband instead of calling the police herself? Why didn't she text the police?

    Text to 911 is very recent - in Dauphin County according to this news report, only one carrier offers that as a possibility: http://fox43.com/2014/05/27/in-an-em...#axzz39SdD0Zpp

    Many places along the trail you can get a text out but not a call.

    Interesting article on text 911.

    Text can work when a call won't go thru
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
