Jon Francis was twenty-four years old when he vanished climbing the 9,733-foot Grand Mogul in the Sawtooth Mountain Range in Central Idaho on July 15, 2006. After a hasty and incomplete search, the sheriff's deputy told his family to, "give your son up to the mountain." Since neither local, state, nor federal agencies would continue, the Francis family organized, funded, and joined in carrying out a massive search effort which attracted national attention in the search and rescue committee--from jacket.
