Some hikers in California came across some human remains and officials believe it might be those of actor Julian Sands. The actor disappeared in January and search teams had yet to find any remains despite numerous attempts to locate his body. That all changed with this breaking news.
Here is what the hikers found and why officials believe this may finally be Julian Sands.
Hikers find what might be Julian Sands remains
The tragic Julian Sands story might finally be getting some closure for his family and friends. Sands disappeared in January while he was hiking and no one ever found his body. However, TMZ reports that some hikers just found some human remains, and the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Dept. believes they might belong to Sands. The remains were sent to the coroner’s office for identification. The ID will be known by sometime next week.
The hikers were in the same area where Sands went missing when they found the human remains. Since this was the same general area, it remains curious as to why the remains were just now found. Officials set out on a full-scale search and had no success in finding his body. The eighth organized search took place last week with 80 volunteers and they still found nothing. Searchers spent hundreds of hours looking for Sands’ body with helicopters, drones, and more, but they never found anything.
However, it now looks like some hikers might have finally found his body.
What happened to Julian Sands?
Julian Sands was hiking in the California mountains following a winter storm when he went missing. The 65-year-old actor was an avid hiker and went into the mountains to hike consistently. However, on this occasion, there was a danger at hand as other people died while in the mountains thanks to the harsh weather making the ground dangerous.
Sands was in the Mt. Baldy area, which was covered in snow. His family reported him missing on January 13 and authorities named him as a “missing hiker” on January 18. More snow had fallen on the mountain after his disappearance, making it almost impossible to conduct a wide search.
After the most recent search, it seemed Julian Sands’s family had finally realized the inevitable. They released the first statement since his disappearance, where they thanked the search teams and coordinators. They also indicated that they have already said their goodbyes to the legendary actor. If the remains are of Julian Sands, the family can finally close the door on this tragedy and say their official goodbye.
Sands was born in England but resided in Los Angeles. He had a long career in acting, with roles in movies like The Killing Fields, Arachnophobia, Leaving Las Vegas, and TV shows like 24 and Smallville.
Please continue to keep the family of Julian Sands in your thoughts as they wait to see if this will finally close the door to their loved one’s disappearance.
