Search For Missing US Man Hampered By Bad Weather

The search for missing US man resumed on Monday after authorities spotted what may be a corpse floating in the crater lagoon of the Volcán Rincon de la Vieja in Guanacaste, but was called off by mid day due to bad weather. The same occurred Tuesday, when some 18 Cruzrojistas (Red Cross workers) had to call off their operations.

Over the weekend an aerial photograph raised the possibility of determine what happened to David Gimelfarb, a 28 year old doctoral student in psychology in Chicago, went missing in the national park on August 11.

All attempts to find Gimelfarb have failed.

Noemy Coto, spokesperson for the Cruz Roja, said that weather complicated the efforts to reach the lagoon that is 60 metres (197) feet below the crater's edge.
