LOS ANGELES ? A search and rescue team is combing the mountainous terrain around Seattle on foot and in helicopters to look for the missing son of international boxing promoter Bob Arum.
John Arum, 49, was hiking in the Northern Cascade mountains when he went missing. Arum, an experienced hiker, is trying to climb the 100 highest peaks in the state of Washington, his family said.
Searchers have located Arum’s empty campsite and tent in the Storm King Peak area but no sign of the environmental lawyer. The search on foot continues and on Wednesday a helicopter joined the hunt.
Bob Arum was in Los Angeles Tuesday for the first of three stops on the tour to promote the November 13 Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito junior middleweight title fight but left that same day to help in the search.
The Pacquiao fight will take place at November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.
