He was found near a cliff. I'm guessing somehow he fell. He had no shoes on.
The body of an*Arcadia firefighter who has been missing for two weeks in a remote, rugged area of the Los Padres National Forest was found Friday morning less than a mile from where he was last seen, authorities said.
A family photo shows Mike Herdman with his dog, who ran off before Herdman went missing.
Mike Herdman, 36, disappeared*June 13 when he and*a firefighter colleague and friend chased after Herdman?s runaway dog, Duke, in the mountain above Fillmore. The two men, who were on a four-day backpacking trip in the*Sespe Wilderness, became separated. Herdman did not return to camp that night.
He was barefoot and wearing only shorts and a T-shirt. It took Herdman?s friend Taylor Byars two days to walk out of the wilderness and alert authorities.
The discovery of Herdman?s body in a
?rugged cliff area? was announced*at a Ventura County Sheriff?s Office news conference*about 4*p.m. Friday at Camarillo Airport.
They was no indication of foul play and it was not known if Herdman had fallen,*Sheriff*Geoff Dean said.
