“Around 7:30pm on Friday, Jan 13, a hiker was reported missing in the Baldy Bowl area,” San Bernardino County Sheriff Department Corporal Nathan Campos confirmed to People.
“A search crew was sent out, but because of weather conditions, they were pulled on Saturday,” Corporal Campos continued. “Helicopters and drones will be out there to continue to search, weather permitting.”
The department is also searching for another man, named Bob Gregory, who has been missing since Monday, January 16. He was hiking in the nearby area of Crystal Lake in the San Gabriel Mountains.
The search for the two men comes as the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department issued a warning to hikers in the area amid severe weather conditions.
“Over the last four weeks, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue (SAR) Teams have responded to 14 rescue missions on Mt Baldy and in the surrounding area,” police shared in a statement on Facebook on Wednesday.
“These rescue missions have been for lost, stranded and/or injured hikers. Unfortunately, during these past 4 weeks, two hikers did not survive after falling and injuring themselves,” the statement continued.
The police also reiterated that the weather in the mountain is “adverse and extremely dangerous” amid high winds and recent snow storms.
Julian‘s disappearance comes days after Crystal Paula Gonzalez-Landas – known as “the dancing hiking queen” – slid to her death in the area.
Julian is best known for his roles in The Killing Fields, A Room with a View, Warlock, Arachnophobia, Boxing Helena, and Ocean’s 13.
He also played Superman’s biological dad, Jor-El, on Smallville.
