Search underway for overdue Davis County hiker

DAVIS COUNTY, Utah — Multiple agencies are currently searching for an overdue hiker in Davis County who has not been seen or heard from since Tuesday evening.

Wes Whitnah was last reported between Thurston Peak and Fernwood Recreation Site. The Davis County Sheriff’s Office said the 64-year-old man called his wife around 7 p.m. Tuesday to tell her he had walked farther than expected but was on his way home.

Communication with his wife was the last time Whitnah was heard from.

The Davis County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team is working with the Layton City Police Department and the Utah Department of Public Safety in the search for Whitnah, who was wearing jeans, boots, a shirt plaid and a blue Columbia jacket.
