Human Remains Found Near Trail Where Actor Julian Sands Went Missing

On Sunday, human remains were found near a trail where actor Julian Sands went missing five months ago.

The body has been sent to the medical examiner for positive identification. 

Sands was first reported missing in January after failing to return from his hike in the snowy Mt. Baldy area in the San Bernardino Mountains of California. His car was found, but no other clues of the actor’s whereabouts have been discovered. 

On Monday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff posted on Twitter that they were continuing their search efforts for the 65-year-old. Videos accompanying the update show volunteers and deputies climbing into the helicopters used to locate Sands.

According to the police report, over 80 people participated in the efforts to find the star. Additionally, two helicopters and drone crews were also put to use. 

“Despite the recent warmer weather, portions of the mountain remain inaccessible due to extreme alpine conditions. Multiple areas include steep terrain and ravines, which still have 10 plus feet of ice and snow,” the report states. 

The San Bernardino County Sherriff Department also reports that eight searches and over 500 hours have been conducted to find the missing actor. 

Sands is known to have been an avid outdoorsman. He has three children: son Henry, 37, with ex-wife Sarah Harvey, and daughters Natalya, 26, and Imogen, 23, whom he shares with wife Evgenia Citkowitz. 

Sands starred in numerous movies but was best known for his role in A Room With A View.
