Wallace, 37, was on a snowmobile trip at Grooundhog Reservoir on Sunday, Dec. 6, and reported missing Dec. 8. The search included a helicopter and ground crews.<\/p>\n
On Dec. 11, Wallace\u2019s snowmobile was found by a Lewis-Arriola fire department dive team in the reservoir in an area of thin ice at a depth of 30 feet. On Dec. 17-18, dive teams from West Metro Denver and Cold Water Divers Inc. of Victoria, B.C., extracted the snowmobile, but couldn\u2019t find him because of weather and ice conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith lake conditions and two storms moving into the area, operations will most likely be delayed until spring,\u201d a sheriff\u2019s office news release stated.<\/p>\n
Wallace, an Air Force veteran, was last heard from Dec. 6 when he phoned a friend during a break from a snowmobile ride.<\/p>\n
Rescue teams included Dolores County Search and Rescue, Rico Search and Rescue, Lewis-Arriola dive team, unnamed helicopter rescue services, and advisers from the Montezuma County Sheriff\u2019s Office and United Search and Rescue of Montezuma County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
