ADDITIONAL SEARCHES HAVE been carried out in Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park for Dublin man Cian McLaughlin after authorities received new information related to his disappearance.
The 27-year-old was last seen in the national park on 8 June.
In an update last night, the national park service said it had received additional information from a resident of Jackson, Wyoming who reported seeing and speaking with McLaughlin on the day he went missing.
The witness, who recently returned from an international trip, said they saw McLaughlin on Tuesday 8 June in the late afternoon/early evening on the trail on the south side of the Bradley/Taggart moraine – headed south towards Taggart Lake

The individual said they had a conversation with McLaughlin where he described where he worked, that he’s from Ireland, and currently living in Jackson. They continued hiking towards Bradley Lake and did not see McLaughlin again that evening.
As a result of this new information, the park has made additional search efforts around Bradley Lake and Taggart Lake. Park staff also searched the Phelps Lake area, which McLaughlin reportedly likes to visit.
No evidence or clues of McLaughlin’s whereabouts were identified, said national park service officials who scaled back search operations last weekend.
As McLaughlin’s plans were unknown, anyone who has been travelling in the Teton backcountry since 8 June may have seen him, said park officials who are continuing to request any information the public may have that may aid in locating McLaughlin.
McLaughlin was wearing a white short-sleeve shirt and a red watch while in his vehicle. In addition, it is believed he was wearing shorts, a bucket hat and round sunglasses. He also has a noticeable tattoo on his left forearm.
Anyone with information regarding McLaughlin’s whereabouts is asked to contact the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch via call on text on 888-653-0009.

The single biggest problem i see with ads is ad blocker, it does not work all your doing is putting another door into your system. If you want to stay virus free remove all add ons or extensions from your browser’s and leave your homepage at google.
Ad blocker works remarkably for me. In fact have been using it so long that even the 5 second ads on YouTube have just because annoyance when browsing on another computer. Unless your naive or stupid browsing less then reputable sites , you should in general stats virus free.
I’m not giving an opinion ,I’m telling you what I see every day. Your installing software for free , did you actually read the terms and conditions of that software and why it is actually free? use at your own risk , they in short can do whatever they want to your PC and you agreed to it.
If you add extensions to your browser it doesn’t matter what you do or what you click on , the hole is already present .
I haven’t had a virus on a computer I owned in 6 or 7 years btw.
Any addon or extension can access all your browser’s input/history and can also forward them to anyone even your banking info. This can happen on any websites. even encrypted information.
You’re taking a big risk that software that could be made illegal(case is ongoing)l is going to operate within the law.
Also if a hole in the security of adblocker is found then it could make your entire system vulnerable.
On another point if all ads are blocked from youtube/facebook etc. then those services may be no longer be free in the future, that’s reality.
Dave, take it from someone working in Network Security, you are very wrong on pretty much everything you’ve said. In fact I would go so far as to say you are the network security version of an anti-vaxxer. Hush now.
