Chris,
Rumor had it that Metro had a number of folks on the ground, many of
whom were using GPS and GIS to manage the effort. I didn't hear anything
about that level of effort within Douglas County but I would venture to
guess something was digitally recorded. The Sheriff's blog
<https://sites.google.com/site/findmarkb/blog/mapofriddlesearcharea>
posted an image of a hardcopy map that showed SAR areas. I also asked
some folks at Metro if some or any of the data they collected would be
released and I have not heard back. I hesitated to start a Crowdmap
<http://crowdmap.com/> but after a kick in the pants by one of Mark's
colleagues, I decided to post it and it's been well received. I'm sure
there are some out there that don't appreciate unofficial/unconventional
search tools being thrown into the fray but nothing else was active at
the time. Within days, it was retweeted and has reached over 2000
pageviews. Not a huge hit, but still, it gets people looking at a map. I
called Douglas County's Sheriff's office as well as Cycle Oregon to make
sure it wasn't doing more harm than good. Douglas Co. never responded
but they did post it as a link on their website. Jerry Norquist at Cycle
Oregon got back to me yesterday and said I should go through someone at
Metro or Douglas Co. to make sure it's not conflicting. I figured by
now, it's gaining momentum, has had enough hits, and even some possible
leads reported.
Meanwhile, another Google Map
<https://sites.google.com/site/findmarkb/how-you-can-help> was put up
to track the flier distribution effort which was one of the categories
in Crowdmap so I looked into ways to incorporate that data with the
CrowdMap. Fortunately, there is a way to link KMLs live into CrowdMap so
both can coexist. My hope is that through both maps, we can crowdsource
the effort to get the word out, as well as substantiate leads and
ultimately find Mark. Crowdmap has the kind of tools to assist in
reporting as well as aggregate feeds from Twitter, News, and direct
reports. I can always use help administering the site and approving and
verifying reports. The more eyes on these, the more information we have.
Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks for the continuing updates, Milt. I am hoping that Douglas SAR
has
been using GIS and GPS to facilitate this search. I contacted Wayne
Stinson at Douglas Sherriff Office but have yet not heard back. I reckon
Mr. Stinson has his hands full right now. If anyone else out there is
doing
SAR GIS please get in touch with me anytime. I have provided GPS-GIS
support to a number of SAR incidents here at Crater Lake and I would
offer
my services to them if not for a current situation that keeps me local.
However, I am glad to offer resources/advice/information to the search
coordinators from here.
I first met and worked with Mark when I was working for UR-COG in
Douglas
County back in 1997. Mark was instrumental in helping us establish GIS
User Groups in rural Oregon, which would later become sections of
ORURISA.
It is painfully ironic that my last news of him comes from this same
area.
Hope and prayers from Crater Lake.
