Very sad. I know the odds are slim, but I hope he is found alive

I really hope they find Dave alive, or if that isn't meant to be, that for the sake of his family and friends, that they find his body. Hopefully he's found a safe spot and is waiting to be found. My father has been friends with Dave for more than 30 years and I've had the pleasure of having dinner with him a few times when visiting Las Vegas. He's not just a genius gambler and odds maker, he's a genuinely nice guy.

From Newsweek:

People close to Malinsky told local station KSNV-TV that he typically likes to hike and get off the grid during this time of year, since it is a slow period for him. Malinsky was only supposed to be on his hike for the day.

"The low temperature on Saturday night was down in the 40s and I think about the same last night too," Red Rock Search and Rescue's Brian Zink told KSNV in a segment broadcast Monday. "It's just really windy, so if he can find shelter and had water and a little bit of food, we're very optimistic."

I hope he's found safe, and soon.

Crews continue search for hiker missing since Saturday

"People survive some of the most unbelievable situations in the world, and on the other end of the spectrum, people lose their lives over the smallest most ridiculous unbelievable things," said Tom Padden, Malinsky's friend. "So, it's a whole range of possibilities, and that's why not only are people not stopping but they're just coming out of the woodwork now."

Still no good news, and no sighting at all.

Lots of search teams and dogs

Anyone here familiar with the area

They've called off the search for Saturday until the body found is identified. The body was found in the Mummy Spring area and the North Loop Trail Dave was parked and seen at has a trail off it to that area. How sad.

Sorry, I know it doesn't look good.

Officials have not said at this time if the body is that of Malinsky, a local sports handicapper. It will be up to coroner investigators to make that determination.

To be confirmed

 

[BrianL42384]

Can someone who’s good with maps post a map of where this is on the mountain?

Here you can see how the north loop trail intersects with a trail going to Mummy Springs.

The family has a post on the Find David Malinsky Facebook page thanking everyone for all their help with the search efforts and confirming that Dave "passed doing what he loved and that he is now resting peacefully among friends".

Although tragic and a huge loss, I am glad that his family and friends have an answer.
