Weekend search turns up no sign of missing UO professor Daming Xu
EUGENE, Ore. -- Searchers: Zero. The wilderness: Xu.
After three days of a resumed search for missing University of Oregon math professor Daming Xu, the search was suspended with no plans for additional searching.
Xu disappeared Nov. 4, 2007, while on a day hike near Olallie Mountain in the Three Sisters Wilderness. Two weeks of searching came to an end due to unfavorable weather and dangerous conditions having turned up only one clue: half a copy of William Sullivan's "100 Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades" found in the French Pete drainage south of Highway 126 and Cougar Reservoir.
Over the weekend, 45 searchers from Lane and Marion counties put in another 400 hours combing the wilds for signs of Xu. No clues were found. | BACKGROUND
