| Bizarre Case of Missing New York Skier, Found on the Other Side of the Country (California)
A skier missing from Whiteface Mountain has been found in California. New York State Police said Constantinos "Danny" Filippidis, 49, of Toronto, was found 2,900 miles away Tuesday in Sacramento. Filippidis was reported missing last Wednesday by friends who said he could not be found as the resort was closing. His belongings were found at the lodge and his car was still in the parking lot. Since then, hundreds of volunteers have spent about 7,000 hours combing the mountain. Crews used K-9s and helicopters as part of the search. The steep and icy terrain make the search even more challenging. Filippidis made contact with law enforcement officers in Sacramento. He was reported to be in good health. The circumstances of Filippidis' disappearance remain under investigation. Officials have not said why he went missing. Before Tuesday, police said they had no reason to believe Filippidis was not on the mountain. The Department of Homeland Security, New York State Police, New York Department
