Missing Mount Baldy Hikers Eric Desplinter & Gabrielle Wallace Found Alive

MOUNT BALDY, CA. (THECOUNT) — Following an intensive search, rescue crews have found Eric Desplinter and Gabrielle Wallace, a pair of hikers alive who had been missing on Mount Baldy since Saturday.

Desplinter, 33, of Chino Hills and Wallace, 31, of Rancho Cucamonga had gone missing Saturday afternoon as they were heading toward Cucamonga Peak, reports ABC7.

The pair were located Wednesday evening after a rescue crew conducted a successful effort to get them off the mountain.

Their conditions were not immediately available.

The two had set out earlier Saturday with a group of four people, but two of them turned back halfway through out of concerns about the danger of the trail.

Dozens of members of search-and-rescue crews had been combing the mountainous area by ground and air since they were reported missing.
