I have a feeling this story is not going to end well.- nik
Email Suggestion: Nik, I read the article about what the police have done thus far to locate George Aldrich, and I was struck by the fact that they ping’ed his cell phone, but it seemed that it was only based on when his last call was made. I would think that they should know this, but just in case, it is worth letting them know that I’ve heard that you can ping a cell phone’s location as long as the phone is on. That means that a ping that occurred during his last phone call probably isn’t the most recent data available about his location. They need to ping for the location based on the signal the phone transmits just by being on, if they haven’t already done so.
I can’t find any definitive explanation of this, and I’m not terribly tech savvy, so this could be wrong. However, I was told about this ability personally by an expert in the field of investigative forensics, although there is a chance I misunderstood this person [but I don't think that I did].
Regardless, they at least need to search for the location based on the last time his phone received a text message, which is probably more recent than his last call as well. The found that family up in Oregon in 2006 this way. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/12/06/national/main2232874.shtml
If I find any information on searches based on the phone merely being on, I’ll send it in.
Best wishes, for him & his family.
Well, this will be another Chris McCandless.
Thank you, Darwinism.
This is just another Christopher McCandless case.
I feel like I saw this guy or a look alike in my bar tonight in nw Portland OR.
would you have any camera footage of him you think? was he wearing similar jacket or anything? just want to follow up
The guy I’m thinking of was pretty tall maybe 5 11. He had his hair in a low pony tail, he had a baby blue shirt on and he was with a petite blonde woman. There were cameras everywhere. The address is 501 nw glisan st in Portland. Probably wasent him…..you never know.
anonymous— probobly should submit this tip, the family is offering a $ 25,000 reward…….
Of course it is possible. That’s how mobiles work, they update the present networks and their power as long the mobile is online. And from that information it’s possible to calculate the last position where the phone updated itself. Operator should be able to offer this information for the cops.
If you click to read the full article it says the phone either went dead or was turned off at 8pm… so I think they tried.
I hope that this story ends up happy. I dont get how the police can know where your general vacinity based on the towers that your cell phone pings off of. They are even able to introduce it as evidence during a criminal trial. However, when they need it to save a life it the technology doesnt exist.
He is dead…we know it…
If everything goes ok—- Nik SGM????
Twelve days? Sorry, he’s dead. And this is no relation to Chris McCandless, who had a history of taking off before he stupidly went to Alaska with no supplies.
Didn’t he just sign with the Nationals??
Sounds like Aspen Police are doing a shotty job!
Well, if the only thing you had to worry about is DUIs and the problems of the wealthy elite you’d be off your game too. Seriously, resort town cops are ski bums with real jobs.
Thanks for posting this Nik!, tell Dr. Phil to suck it cuz u do help people whether he wants to see that or not
This is nothing like Chris McCandless. George got off on the wrong bus stop. He tried to find a ride home. Chris McCandless purposely went into an isolated area with barely any food or equipment hoping to make an internet sensation of himself.
There’s no need to compare the cases, and it’s rude and unnecessary.
Also, they tried to find the most recent ping to his cell phone, but it was before he even got on the bus. His cell phone battery was dead by the time he went missing.
every phone is mandated to have gps on it, now it is up to the owner to turn the gps on, on the phone to allow them to be found. i work in the cell industry and youd be suprised how many people dont want it on bc they think the government is keeping tabs on them. crazies
I know where he is..That’s Jason Werth
To me, i find it odd that someone could be potentially kidnapping or murdering ppl in a town like aspen, you would think an affluent town would equal more media coverage which would help the family and police locate the guy, its just odd that no one has come forward with any leads…if in fact he was picked up by someone the last time he was seen, it very well could be someone he knew and trusted who picked him up, i would recommend the cops start putting together a list of friends and acquaintances he spent time with in that area…
Things happen and we know that but he is a grown man and even if he was seeking publicity(I dont think thats the case) he still has the intelligence to know when hes going to far or has the ability to fight for his life. Its to soon to give up hope. People do strange things for strange reasons we know this but dont understand why until they are found. Lets find him without losing hope and give him a chance to tell his story.
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
How do u expect to find a white dude in the snow?
Hope dude is alright. I’d donate some cash if the family needs it to help. DA strong!
How does a 20 something goe ‘missing’? if you’re almost 30, you can leave without telling anyone without being dubbed ‘missing’
He looks like he he overdosed on meth in some sh!tty white trash trailer park
A body was found under a bridge. It’s believed to be George. Heartbreaking. We were all hoping for the best.
Update to the original story….it looks like they found his body under a bridge. Sad.
So they found this dude….and no, it didn’t turn out OK. Check the Denver Post online for more info.
Wow to all these shtty comments…this guy is someone’s son, brother, friend. Think about how you would feel if it was someone YOU know!
he is dead, family was informed they found a body that fits his description. terrible just terrible
They found his body–he fell from a bridge, it was ruled an accident.
Sad.
sad end to the story. wish his family the best.
