William & Susan Schmeirer left their home in Williamsburg, Virginia on May 27 to go on a cross-country road-trip vacation. The couple was due to arrive in Palm Springs on or about June 2.
On June 13, the U.S Bureau of Land Management notified the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department of a vehicle, later confirmed to be owned by the Schmeirers, that was parked at the Amboy Crater Trailhead parking lot for approximately 10 days and appeared to be abandoned.
On June 16 using deputies, a helicopter, volunteers, and a trained search dog found the remains of a man that matched the description of William Schmeirer. Positive identification of the body and a cause of death is pending from the coroner's office.
Susan Schmeirer has not yet been found. The sheriff's department is continuing the search and volunteers are scheduled to conduct another major search operation of the Amboy Crater area this weekend.
