Calaveras County Search & Rescue & Sheriffs Department Rescue Lost Hiker
Posted by: thepinetree on 01/04/2017 04:23 PM
Camp Connell, CA...On January 03, 2017 at about 0400hrs, Calaveras County Sheriff dispatch received a cellular 911 call from a person stating he had become lost while hiking in the snow. The conversation was brief, and subsequent attempts to call back were unsuccessful. The caller was later identified as Eric Vanwambeke of San Francisco, California. During the 911 call dispatchers learned that Vanwambeke had started hiking at noon on the previous day in a snowy area east of Camp Connell. Sheriff Dispatchers were also able to triangulate the caller’s approximate location using cell tower information. The location of Vanwambeke was believed to be approximately 3 miles north-west of Highway 4 on a forest road which was covered by snow.
