Specialized Search Operations: Thomas Nazarro (Part 1)

Thomas Nazarro, 17, of Durham New Hampshire, convinced his mother that the NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) course to learn Alaska Mountaineering would be a perfect graduation gift. In July of 1999, Nazarro then vanishes on a glacier in Alaska, and the resulting search requires extreme safety measures and clever resource usage to keep the search going. One of the most unique and dangerous environments sets the backdrop to the true story of the Nazarro Search, by the Trooper responsible for the mission and the management of resources.  Although this has been talked about in other podcasts and stories, finally, the truth about the operation and its challenges, and the roles we often have to fill with families of the subjects, our agencies, and the public comes to light. In the end, it is often others who determine our success. A "must listen".
