Missing Hiker Found Alive In Joshua Tree National Park

Searchers reported they have found Edward Rosenthal, a hiker who had been missing since last Friday, alive in Joshua Tree National Park.

The Los Angeles real estate broker went on a hike last week and didn’t come back.

At least 40 people searched Wednesday for the 64-year-old Rosenthal, an experienced hiker who failed to return as planned on Friday.

Searchers on foot and horseback with the help of dogs found evidence that he had been at a location south of the original search area near Black Rock Canyon campground.

Details of where they found him or his condition are not known at this time.

Rosenthal is known for brokering deals to sell historic downtown office and industrial buildings for conversion into condo or apartments.

The Culver City resident also has a reputation for writing short, humorous poems and reading them aloud at public events.
