The San Bernardino County Rescue Team has located the second hiker who disappeared on the mountain where Julian Sands disappeared.

A 75-year-old hiker named Jin Chung was located on Tuesday (January 24).

“Jin suffered some weather-related injuries and a leg injury, but was able to walk out with the help of crew members,” the official statement said. “He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. No further information is currently available.”

In other news, Sands’ brother Nick has said he knows “in my heart” his sibling is no longer alive as the search for the missing British actor entered its 11th day.

Commenting on his local Yorkshire newspaper, the Craven Herald, Nick said: “He has not yet been declared missing, presumed dead, but I know in my heart that he is gone. Whatever sibling rivalry is, it would be just like him if he came out and proved me wrong.”

Sands was reported missing on January 13, sparking a major search and rescue operation led by the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office.

Search efforts have been hampered by high wind warnings near the San Gabriel Mountains, near where Sands is believed to have disappeared.

Last week, Sands’ family released the last known pictures of him climbing a mountain, telling The Independent: “This is how he would like to be seen doing what he loves most – a heroic mountaineer.”
