Both air and ground searches were in progress Monday morning after Sunday efforts failed to find 26-year-old Spc. Nephi Soper. Troopers Helo-2, as well as a Guard helicopter, were searching for Soper as weather that grounded them for much of Sunday lifted.
Soper, assigned to the Alaska Guards 1-297th Reconnaissance and Surveillance Battalion, missed a 6 p.m. Friday drill formation on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson after a taxicab dropped him off for his solo trek Thursday night at the Prospect Heights trailhead on the Anchorage Hillside. His plans reportedly involved traveling north overnight, emerging near Arctic Valley Road and proceeding to JBER.
