Search Expands for Missing Selma Man Near Shaver Lake
SHAVER LAKE, Calif. (KFSN) — New developments are underway in the case of Ron Dailey, a missing Selma man. The U.S. Forest Service has opened up the area affected by the Garnett Fire to help expand the search efforts.
“They created an opportunity today where people can fill out a form and just basically register with the US Forest Service if they want to be out and search in areas that are affected by the Garnett fire that are typically closed,” said Fresno County Supervisor Nathan Magsig.
Officials report that Dailey went hunting in the mountains near Shaver Lake on October 13th. When he did not return home that night, his family contacted the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office to report him missing.
From ground teams to aerial searches, Magsig says that both the county and community members are doing everything possible to bring Dailey home safely.
Dailey’s family expresses gratitude for the prayers and the overwhelming support they have received during this heartbreaking time.
“We want to find Ron. Our hopes and prayers are that he has been found alive, but we will move heaven and earth, so to speak, to find him.”
The family remains optimistic that Dailey is okay and will be home soon.
“He’s a strong man, he really is. He’s hunted that area for over 50 years and I know he’s trying to get out,” said his wife, Glenda Dailey.
The family also shared that Dailey is diabetic and left home without his medication. He has managed his health well for the past four to five months, and they hope that the lack of medication will not adversely affect him while he is in the mountains.
