Known as Ray and Maranda Ankofski on social media, the couple was last in contact 20 minutes past noon on June 21, just hours before a severe storm hit the area.

The Grand County Sheriff’s Office, along with social media posts, reported that the couple’s truck was discovered at the Steel Bender trailhead, and their off-highway vehicle was found in a ravine. Following a report of the abandoned truck associated with an overdue party, deputies initiated an immediate search and rescue operation involving multiple agencies.
