CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Police and family members say they are calling off the search for Martin Davis, a Cedar Rapids-area snowmobiler who has been missing for nearly a week.
The missing man’s brother said Friday that the 52-year-old Davis disappeared Sunday, and the family didn’t want anyone to take risks by searching for him.
Davis, who lived about three miles north of Shueyville, left home Sunday and told family he’d be back by late afternoon. Police and family say they suspect his snowmobile fell through the ice on Coralville Lake.
Volunteers, sheriff’s deputies, a State Patrol aircraft and a helicopter combed woods and hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails along the Linn and Johnson County borders early in the week, but found nothing. The search was suspended before the snow hit Wednesday.
