NORTH BEND, Wash. (AP) ? A more focused search for a skydiver who vanished during a jump above Washington's Cascade foothills failed to locate the Florida man as darkness fell Saturday.
Crews narrowed the search area for 29-year-old Kurt Ruppert to the Mount Si area east of Seattle. King County sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West said they looked specifically in a quarter-mile-square area near the summit, but kept searching other areas as well.
Ruppert disappeared after he jumped from a helicopter at 6,500 feet on Thursday afternoon. The Lake City, Fla., man was wearing a special wing suit with fabric under the arms to allow him to glide like a flying squirrel.
West said they made the decision to narrow the search area based on the flight pattern of the helicopter he jumped from and information from his cellphone's location just before the jump.
