Another 128 hour mistake, but without the positive ending.

Search for runner Micah True is over; body found in wilderness

The body of renowned long-distance runner Micah True has been found in the Gila Wilderness area of New Mexico, state police reported Saturday.

True hadn't been seen since Tuesday, when he set out for a run from the Wilderness Lodge and Hot Springs. Unsure of which trail True had planned to take, only that he was planning what would have been, to him, a fairly routine excursion near Gila Hot Springs, searchers combed the local wilderness areas.

On Saturday, they intensified their efforts, using teams on horseback and ATVs, as well as K-9 units, to search for the 58-year-old.

“We’ve got a lot of people out there, but there’s just no luck,” New Mexico State Police Lt. Robert McDonald told The Times earlier in the day. “The hardest part is they really don’t have a starting point to begin with.”
