Details:
On June 11, 1998, Jonathan, an off-duty Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy and dog handler for the
department's Special Enforcement Bureau didn't return from a routine daylong hiking trip that began at
the Devils Punchbowl Park in the San Gabriel Mountains. His SUV was found parked just outside the
park's entrance but Jonathan was nowhere to be found. Jon is described as an experienced hiker,
marathoner, outdoorsman and survivalist who is very familiar with the area.

More than 100 deputies and volunteers searched the San Gabriel Mountains by helicopters, tracking
dogs and high-tech military surveillance gear with no results.
At one time, tipsters said Jon had been killed after he came across a meth lab, but that tip was deemed
unreliable.
