Missing Redwood City Man Found Dead in Aptos Forest

George Sliter's body was found about 48 hours after he disappeared.

The remains of a Redwood City retiree who went missing Sunday morning in the Aptos hills were found Tuesday around 10 a.m., the Sheriff's Office reported.

George Sliter, 74, was last seen around 8:30 a.m. Sunday at the Monte Toyon Retreat Center, where he was staying with friends.

Sliter's body was found Tuesday face down in a ravine near the 600 block of Hudson Lane off of Porter Gulch Road, Sheriff's Deputy April Skalland said. He was found at 10:30 a.m. by volunteers from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team. 

A straight shot from Monte Toyon Retreat Center to the location of Sliter's body is around two miles, but as one deputy said, there's no way to know how far he actually traveled to get to that place, as he surely zig-zagged his way there. 

According to Skalland, the coroner's office will determine how long Sliter's body had been in the ravine in the coming days. The sheriff's office does not suspect foul play in this incident. 

The search for Sliter entered its third day Tuesday morning. At its peak, more than 100 Search and Rescue volunteers from five counties were looking for him on foot, on horseback, on ATVs and dirt bikes, and with police tracking dogs.

The area where Sliter went missing is adjacent to The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, a rugged 10,000-acre wilderness.

I'd like to have more info about this. I'm thinking of "bundling" my telephone land line,Read More internet, and HGTV with Charter, BUT if they practice censorhsip, I might reconsider. Any more info would be appreciated...what websites are being blocked?
Butch Cole June 16, 2013 at 01:32 am
I'd like more information also..I have Charter now and can't remember getting notification that theyRead More are blocking sites.
Earl Pickles June 16, 2013 at 10:40 pm
Doubtful that notification would be given. Sites that are most troublesome for Charter are thoseRead More available for downloading copyrighted material. This is not to say that Charter is a bad ISP for it is a relative fast, moderately priced, reliable service in this area. I would suggest however that you do not lease the required equipment from them but purchase your own. If you are interested in finding out more about Charter and other ISPs blocking sites, information is available on the Internet.

From emergency dispatchers: the white four-door sedan had flames coming from the engine compartment.Read More It was on the off-ramp from southbound Highway 1 near Rampart. The car was fully engulfed and the flames spread into the surrounding vegetation a bit, but firefighters only needed a couple of minutes to knock down the fire.
