SEVIER COUNTY, Utah — Several Utah law enforcement agencies have shared a video taken by a man who remains missing after nearly four days.
Austin Madsen was originally reported missing to officials on Sunday and believed to have been driving a black 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche near the Antimony area.
The video shared by the agencies was taken by Madsen, possibly south of Monroe Mountain. It was hoped that someone recognized the location to help in the search. A cell phone "ping" performed by the Mapleton City Police Department resulted in possible location coordinates in Garfield County.
On Tuesday, the Garfield County Sheriff's Office found the truck in the Dry Hollow area on Mount Dutton, with help of teams from Sevier and Iron counties, but Madsen himself was not located.
Early Tuesday, teams followed a trail of footprints believed to have been left by Madsen, but called off the search at approximately 2:30 a.m. due to extreme weather.
Madsen and Garfield county sheriff's deputies, along with a Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter and Piute, Sevier, and Garfield county search and rescue crews resumed the search later Tuesday morning. Because of low temperatures and high winds, the search has been described as "difficult."
"The rough terrain and deep snow complicated travel throughout the area," the Garfield County Sheriff's Office said. "This is an active search, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available."
Another social media post said the Madsen's friends or family had not heard from him since Friday.
