Grey was reportedly drained and chilly. He was unable to get himself out of the river and was carried away by the swift present.
Custer County Search and Rescue initially discovered Grey’s physique round midday on Might 25 submerged in a log jam beneath Boundary Creek. His physique was by no means recovered on account of dangerously excessive water ranges.
Since then, the household stories Grey’s physique has floated 40 miles downstream. They’ve been working with search and rescue groups to seek out and retrieve the physique, which hasn’t been profitable, as of Friday afternoon.
“Yesterday, we flew the center fork from Dagger Falls all the way in which to Loon Creek. That’s 50 miles of river trying to find any signal of him. We hovered over the unique log jam he was trapped underneath, which has modified fairly a bit. We’ve seen no signal of him,” Gary Gadwa, the incident commander for Sawtooth Search and Rescue, instructed EastIdahoNews.com simply earlier than 5 p.m. Friday.
The Search and Rescue staff doesn’t have entry to a helicopter each day, which suggests frequent search efforts are extremely unlikely. As of Friday afternoon, Gadwa says the county has already exhausted its annual price range within the seek for Grey’s physique and there’s no one actively looking out the river proper now.
“We instructed the household when the water ranges drop some, we will likely be again in there once more,” Gadwa says. “We’re considering taking a cadaver canine offshore from the place the log jam is to see if the cadaver canine can choose up any scent.”
Although the Grey household is grateful to the sheriff’s workplace, search and rescue groups and the U.S. Forest Service for his or her efforts, they launched a GoFundMe earlier this week to lift funds for a non-public helicopter firm to do extra frequent surveillance.
“Our biggest concern is that Dad’s physique will float farther down the river and turn into misplaced earlier than it’s retrieved,” the household writes on the GoFundMe web page. “Dropping our Dad is a devastating loss for our household and understanding that his physique remains to be within the water is much more traumatizing.”
Gadwa says Thursday’s search was funded fully by the Grey household.
EastIdahoNews.com reached out to the household for additional remark. They defined in an e-mail that officers have instructed them boaters and hikers within the space are their finest useful resource.
“We hope to enlist the assistance of the Center Fork and Salmon River boating and mountaineering communities to maintain a watch out for any signal of Robert, his white helmet, his crimson life jacket, or his black wetsuit,” a member of the family writes.

Idaho senator tells Native American candidate to go back to where she came from at forum • Idaho Capital Sun
This story was first published by Boise State Public Radio on Oct. 3, 2024.
A bipartisan forum in a small Latah County community took a turn when Republican Senate incumbent Dan Foreman stormed out of the event, following a racist outburst directed at a Native American candidate.
On Tuesday, local Democrat and Republican representatives organized a “Meet your candidates” forum in the northern Idaho town of Kendrick. Three contenders from each party vying for Legislative District 6 seats — one senate and two house representatives positions — answered questions submitted by audience members.

When asked if discrimination existed in Idaho, conservative Sen. Dan Foreman said no.
In a statement released Wednesday, Democratic candidate for House Seat A and member of the Nez Perce tribe Trish Carter-Goodheart said she pushed back on that idea when it was her turn to speak, pointing to her own experience and the history of white supremacy groups in North Idaho.
“[J]ust because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Racism and discrimination are real issues here in Idaho, as anyone familiar with our state’s history knows,” Carter-Goodheart’s statement read. “I highlighted our weak hate crime laws and mentioned the presence of the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho as undeniable evidence of this reality.”
Foreman stood up and angrily interjected, using an expletive to criticize what he cast as the liberal bent of the response, according to the release and people present at the forum.
Carter-Goodheart said he then told her she should go back to where she came from, and heatedly stormed off. One event organizer and two other panelists confirmed Carter-Goodheart’s account, adding Foreman appeared very agitated.
Carter-Goodheart is campaigning to be a House representative and is not running against the senator. Her opponent, Republican Rep. Lori McCann, was also present at the forum. In an email, she said she read Carter-Goodheart’s statement “and found it to be an accurate account of what transpired in Kendrick.”
Foreman has a history of angrily confronting people in public, and shouting profanities.
He did not respond to requests for comment by the time of publication.
Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.
