Search Continues For Missing Marine Near Boulder

DENVER (CBS4) ― Four dog teams and a two-person tracking team were expected to join the search Saturday for a Marine who has been missing in Eldorado Canyon State Park.

Lance Hering fell and hit his head Tuesday night while rock climbing with a friend in the park. That friend went to get help, but when he returned, Hering was gone.

More than 100 people took part in the search Friday. They expanded it to a five square mile area around the spot where Hering was last seen.

A helicopter with infra-red technology was scheduled to help with the search, but windy weather forced crews to cancel it.

"It's frustrating," Dennis Hopper of the Boulder County Sheriff's Department said. "All I can say is we are still optimistic. We're going to continue to push and hope for the best."

Several searchers remained in the canyon overnight. Crews said there are still no credible signs of Hering.
