Bucks County Man, 21, Missing In 'Remote' Area Of Montana: Reports

A 21-year-old Bucks County man has gone missing while camping in a remote area of Montana, sources say.

Crews are searching a "remote section" of the Bob Marshall Wilderness for Eric Hellmuth, 21, of Bensalem according to the Helena Independent Record. Hellmuth, in his fourth week of a guide training school course, went missing Monday, the report said.

A backcountry outfitter reported Hellmuth missing Tuesday, saying he walked away from camp about 2 p.m. Monday, and had not been seen since, according to the Associated Press.

“He is on foot and not equipped to handle the elements. He does have some outdoor experience but not much mountain experience, and isn’t dressed for the mountains of Montana,” Teton County Sheriff Keith Van Setten said, according to the Associated Press report.

About 15 people are searching an area about 30 miles northwest of Augusta, according to both reports. An aerial search was planned Tuesday night.

Hellmuth is described as a white male with brown hair and standing about 5 feet 8 inches tall.
