The search for missing actor Julian Sands has been ongoing since January this year, after the 65 year old A Room With A View star went missing during a hike in California’s San Gabriel Mountains. Earlier this week, his family released a statement expressing their gratitude for the search teams and the hope that they continue to hold him ‘in our hearts’.
On Saturday morning, civilian hikers contacted the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department to report the discovery of human remains in the Mount Baldy area. The remains have been transported to the coroner’s office for identification, and it is expected that the identification process will be completed next week.
In the statement released by Sands’ family this week, his loved ones said: ‘We are deeply grateful to the search teams and coordinators who have worked tirelessly to find Julian. We continue to hold Julian in our hearts with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer’.
On June 17, the sheriff’s department continued their search efforts, which included over 80 search and rescue volunteers, deputies, and staff, with the help of two helicopters and drone crews. Unfortunately, Sands was not located. The statement added: ‘Since January, the Sheriff’s Department has conducted eight searches specific to Mr Sands, with volunteer searcher hours exceeding 500 hours.’
The department stressed that the case remains active, despite the actor not being found in recent searches. They also outlined that their goal is to ‘bring closure’ to Sands’ family. Sands is best known for roles in Ocean’s 13, A Room With a View, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
