Kanab David Malone, 32, of Enoch, Utah, spent a long, cold out in the night Straight Canyon area west of Kanab. But he insists that he wasnt lost his dog was. Malone was very excited when he was issued a mountain lion hunting permit. In fact, he threw his young son into his truck on Nov. 13 and headed into the wilderness, relatively unprepared for a snowy, cold night on the mountain. Around 2 p.m. Sunday, Malones dogs caught a scent of the game. He left his son for a friend to take home, and began the hunt. At approximately 2 p.m. Monday, Malones frantic wife called the Kane County Sheriff. Search and Rescue coordinator Dave Owens said the situation was critical, the man was unprepared and stranded in extremely cold temperatures. As the search began to spread out, Malone and two friends who had been looking for him, walked out of the woods about 6:30 p.m. Southern Utah News Remains of missing man found . . last week to the Uintah Vernal Skeletal remains reported County Sheriffs Department are of a man believed to have been missing since 1991. The remains of Wayne G. Ferguson, 59, of Gusher were found in a remote region of southwestern Uintah County and reported to the Sheriffs Department by an informant. The bones were scattered on the ground, stated Sheriff Rick Hawkins. Foul play is suspected. Ferguson was last seen at the Chuckwagon Cafe, near his Gusher home on June 25, 1991. He was seen with a large sum of money he apparently received when he cashed his social security check. He left his cat in the house and his dog tied up in ftont, which neighbors said he would never dol. In 1991, sheriffs deputies followed up on eight or nine leads, but nothing solid resulted until last weeks break in the case. Sheriff Hawkins said the case was never closed, but the leads had dried up until last weeks break. The remains were sent to the Utah Medical Examiner for examination.
