News Release
For Immediate Release October 15, 2009
...
A group matching the description of Jordan Zeman, Jacob Zeman, and Lanier Rodgers was located at approximately 12:00pm today. The group, who were reported missing on October 12, 2009, was seen by the park helicopter on a ledge above Roaring River Falls approximately a quarter of a mile from Cedar Grove. Preliminary contact has been made with the group from the helicopter, and all appear to be in good physical condition.
Due to the inaccessible nature of the terrain, the three men will be extricated via technical rescue. Extrication is expected to be complete by late this afternoon. Positive identification will not be possible until park staff can contact the group directly.
Park officials say San Bernardino Police Officer Lanier Rogers and brothers Jordan Zeman and Jake Zeman were rescued Thursday afternoon after being spotted by the park's helicopter earlier in the day.
...
The three men told their rescuers they were stranded on a ledge above a waterfall for three days. The waterfall is about a quarter mile from the village of Cedar Grove.
Rogers and the Zeman brothers had an emotional reunion with family members shortly after their rescue.
