A desperate search is underway for Charles Hosch, a 67-year-old law professor and attorney from the Dallas area, who went missing while hiking the Byron Herbert Reece Trail in Union County, Georgia on Veterans Day, November 11. Hosch, a Harvard Law graduate and adjunct professor at Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law, was last seen descending the trail around 1:30 p.m. His vehicle was found at the trailhead, but despite an extensive search operation involving 95 personnel, including multiple K-9 teams and drones, his whereabouts remain unknown. The aerial search efforts have been scaled back, but on-ground operations continue, with search teams focusing on trail camera footage and possible movement off the marked path. A credible witness reported chatting with Hosch via ham radio just before he vanished, offering a crucial lead in the investigation. As the search enters its second week, the Union County Sheriff's Office is urging hunters with game cameras in the area to submit footage, which could be instrumental in locating Hosch. The sheriff has emphasized that 'time is critical,' highlighting the urgency of the situation. Hosch's family remains hopeful, with his daughter, Julia Hosch-Singh, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support they have received. The search efforts continue, with search teams navigating steep terrain and cliff zones in their bid to find Charles Hosch.
