Overview
- The empty camper sat for days in the upper parking area at Campo Imperatore with snow piling up and no signs of recent activity.
- Surveillance video reportedly shows the 44-year-old man leaving the vehicle on November 19 with two dogs and not returning on the recordings.
- Carabinieri forced entry to inspect the vehicle and found no occupants, recovering a cellphone and the rental contract that identifies the renter.
- Mountain rescue teams, the fire brigade, and Guardia di Finanza are conducting ground searches and drone overflights, while strong wind and low visibility keep helicopters grounded.
- Access is further complicated by the seasonal closure of the cable car, and searches have extended toward nearby mountain shelters as conditions allow.
