Search team requests visitors avoid the area so aerial search can be conducted
A search began Monday at Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) to locate a 58-year-old male who failed to return from hunting.
The search operation is underway in Carter County, near Cave Spring southeast of Van Buren, along the lower Current River. National Park Service personnel along with Missouri Highway Patrol Aviation Division, Missouri Department of Conservation, and Carter County Emergency Response teams are combing the area.
Additional personnel are not needed at this time, said the announcement. The search team requested that everyone stay clear of the Cave Spring area and Lost Man Cave Road to allow the aviation team to work from the air to spot the missing hunter.
