Search and Rescue Ongoing for Arcata Woman Missing Near Wedding Rock

Lost hiker feature icon

Last night about 6:10 a 32-year-old Arcata woman reportedly was lost and had possibly fallen several feet in Patricks Point State Park between Mussel Rocks and Wedding Rock in a rugged off-trail area, confirmed Samantha Karges, spokesperson for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department.

Karges said that at first Parks and Cal Fire searched the area. “Due to treacherous terrain, dangerous conditions and darkness, the search was temporarily suspended about 10,” she explained. “Our agency was not notified until 9:30 p.m.

At that point Karges said, “We were asked to file a missing person’s report which is standard.”

This morning after establishing a unified command with State Parks, the two agencies began searching this morning for the female hiker around 8 a.m.

“There are ground search teams as well as a Coast Guard helicopter flying,” Karges said.

She added, “We recommend bringing a flashlight with you and staying on trail if you are going to be out after dark.”

“Off trail” there means you went off the cliff. Not much to stay on to begin with.

No not necessarily. There are some crevasses there that go underground doesn’t mean you went all the way through. It probably just means they walked the trails and she wasn’t on one.

The ocean is very treacherous right now. I hope the outcome on this rescue is more positive than the last…..

6:10 until 9:30 -kinda hard to believe, since it’s dark hours before 9:30. Just wondering who would wait for that long, after dark, to telephone for help?

Looking at your recent, endless harsh remarks, I am still trying to figure out if you are just trolling us for your sadistic enjoyment, or honestly missing key points in these articles and making assumptions that would be clarified with a re-reading of the article. Others have valiantly engaged you, over and over, with their best effort to clarify untruths but it doesn’t seem to help.

All voices offered in earnest deserve respect, but if we are being trolled is it worth the effort?

Said another way, kindly re-read the posting to make note the search was underway by several agencies, before HCSO was notified to get a missing person’s report generated.

Help us out: are you a troll having fun, or do you really believe in the conspiracy stuff you endlessly spout? If you really believe it I am sorry your worldview has been so harmed, and wish you well going forward.

Definitely Not.

You have added some obscure yet appropriate legal findings on this site- especially in regards to our unique unfolding of property and water rights. I don’t think you’re a troll. But maybe stay off of these sensitive threads? I learned that people only want positive suggestions in threads like these, not critical analysis. I usually appreciate your input on other threads.

He’s a flat Earther, fyi.

He still doesn’t believe that the Camp and Carr fires were fought by firefighting planes.

He insults the survivors of Paradise by telling them they had a population 20,000 larger than they did.

He further escalates the insults by saying thousands, or tens of thousands were killed in Paradise.

He keeps on going with the insults of Lasers and orbs, and blah blah blah.

Satan worship. Blah blah, flat earth, blah blah.

He takes 20% of most threads comments, when most commentors average 1-4% per thread.

Flat earth. Blah, blah.

There’s no reason to allow such insults on an otherwise wonderful website.

I wish more people would complain about him. Maybe management will hear the people’s voices.

Lasers. Blah, blah.

And he always ends with a quote, to make you think he knows something and to let the insults be forgotton..

If you ever follow his not-at-all legal advice, please film your experience for us to see.

Yeah I’m not a fan of the laser-generated government conspiracy fire stuff either. It’s crackpot. But I appreciate Kym’s inclusive policy. Sometimes the crackpots see stuff earlier…Ex) I see curtailing of property water rights in cannabis policy and can only discuss it here. Kym has allowed me to “go rogue”. But I can understand your anger if you know fire victims…it does sound disrespectful to the innocent victims.

Thanks for the confirmation, Dan F. Mr CHumco’s reply seems like a tacit acknowledgment of recreational trolling, and your reply seals it for me.

Going forward I will stop reading his postings and continue to enjoy the growing chorus of constructive postings on my favorite online destination.

Thanks Dan F!!!!

I really appreciate the input.

I have been trying to tackle his insults and lies, i don’t know if it’s important or a waste of time…

But he really mucks up reality.

The only sure way to get him banned from this blog is to trick him into humorously deriding a WHITE MAN. That’s when Kym Kemp actually gets upset. But so long as he’s merely a right-wing racist nut job 🥜🤪, Kym will continue to give him free reign. #SAD

That area is no joke especially after dark, hope she is found! The rangers up there are awesome and I’m sure will work diligently with the coast guard to help find her.
