Incident Summary:

On August 1, 2021, at approximately 05:22 AM, The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office and St. Louis County Rescue Squad responded to a report of a lost person, somewhere near the Marshall Truck Trail and the Hulligan Lake Forest Rd. The lost party, David Shepard, was attempting to follow cell phone map directions, when his vehicle became stuck on the remote Forest Rd. He then set out on foot and became lost in a wooded and swampy area. His cell phone still had reception and he was able to call 911 for help. The St. Louis County Rescue Squad and St. Louis County drone team deployed assets in the area and were able to successfully locate Shepard. He was cold and wet, but otherwise uninjured. 

 

The Sheriff's Office would like to remind the public that cell phone mapping is not always accurate and may occasionally guide people onto little used roads. It is recommended that individuals stay on higher traffic roadways when they are unfamiliar with the area.
