Authorities immediately initiated a search. A New
Hampshire Fish and Game officer and a Supervisory Border Patrol Agent led those initial efforts.
At about 3:45 p.m., two Border Patrol agents and a
canine arrived and started their search about onehalf mile south of the lake on the Falls Trail. Shortly
after, the canine detected a scent and tracked in a
southern direction towards Magalloway Road. After about 25 minutes, Border Patrol agents and canine located the hikers. Both hikers were in good
health.

Modern technology allows the average citizen to
deploy military-style tools at a fraction of the cost
— drones, sophisticated video cameras, and even
weapons. As the line between “sport enthusiast”
and “malicious actor” blurs, how can law enforcement, public safety, and security professionals
protect themselves—and the public—from these
emerging threats? CACI’s SkyTracker™ solution
provides a strong response.
The threats associated with commercially available
unmanned systems have increased dramatically
as the cost of technology has dropped. From remotely-detonated explosives to unmanned aerial,
ground or submersible systems, the modern malicious actor—or even the unwitting hobbyist—can
pose a threat to public safety without being anywhere near their target.
