Man ran off and did not return
By
Steve Bryant
RMRU received
a call from the Beaumont Police Department around
11 PM on New Year's Day. After a domestic
dispute, a man was reported missing in a
1000-acre field, which contained several deep
gullies. There was drizzle and sleet at the
time, so a person could easily die from
hypothermia (severe cooling of the body, often
referred to as "exposure"). After
receiving permission from the Banning Sheriff's
Station to help, RMRU members were awakened by
the usual beeping of their pagers. Just
after the group page had been broadcast, the
Beaumont PD called back to say that the person
had been found -- not in the field, but in a
house, due to misinformation given the PD due to
the domestic dispute. RMRU then sent out
our "90-90-90" page, signifying that
the mission was ended -- in this case, before
most members had even left their houses.
Then it was back to sleep for good ol' RMRU.
