A hiker missing near Campbell Airstrip Road was found dead Friday night, two days after another man was found dead in the same area. Police say there are no initial signs of foul play in 28-year-old Juan Toscano’s death.
Anchorage Search Team member John Gomes prepares a crew to look for 28-year-old Juan Toscano on Thursday, June 1, 2023. was found dead Friday night, two days after another man was found dead in the same area. Police say there are no initial signs of foul play in 28-year-old Juan Toscano’s death.
Anchorage Police Department spokeswoman Sunny Guerin said in an email Monday that a volunteer had found Toscano’s body in the Campbell Creek Gorge, with word reaching police dispatchers just before 9 p.m. Friday. Toscano had last been heard from Wednesday afternoon, when he told family he planned to take a hike from the Basher trailhead in the area.
Asked about the online backlash, Guerin said that police initiate investigations and searches in missing-persons cases, while following up on known leads for their location. In cases where a person is still missing in a “general area” with no known public-safety threat, Guerin said police contact Alaska State Troopers who then determine whether to activate volunteer search teams.
Members of the Alaska Search and Rescue Team were on hand Thursday morning at the Basher trailhead, looking for Toscano. Members of his family declined comment at the time and didn’t immediately return a request for comment Monday.
