Search continues as a rescue operation: Julian Sands has disappeared without a trace

Even though there has been no sign of life from Julian Sands for a month, the authorities in California are still searching for the actor at Mount Baldy. The Brit's family also spoke up and thanked the rescue teams.

British actor Julian Sands has been missing since January 13, 2023 after a mountain hike in the United States. The responsible forces at Mount Baldy in southern California have now given an update on the search efforts. "We remain hopeful about the search for Julian Sands, but know the outcome may not be what we would like," the San Bernardino Police Department said.

However, conditions "remain a hazard at Mount Baldy. Our planes continue to patrol the area when available. We also plan to search the area on the ground in the future." Although the "Ocean's 13" actor has been missing for more than four weeks, the search is still being described as a rescue mission, not a recovery one, The Guardian reports.

Sands' family issued a statement in late January, praising not only the "compassionate members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department," but also the "heroic search teams who brave the difficult conditions on the ground and in the air bring Julian home". Below that, relatives listed the various groups involved in the search for the performer. Among them are a search dog squadron and a team of cave rescuers.

Julian Sands' family also wrote that they were "deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support" they have received since the actor's disappearance. Born in Britain, he has been married to journalist Eugenia Citkowitz since 1990. The couple have two daughters, Natalya and Imogen. Julian Sands has a son, Henry, from his first marriage.
