CUTT'S GRANT — Late Thursday afternoon, conservation officers with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department received a report that a body had been located in the woods off of the Isolation Trail in the Dry River Wilderness. But earlier in the week, a large-scale search was conducted in the same area of the Dry River Wilderness for missing hiker Gregory Auriemma, 63, of Brick, N.J. Further information linked him to an abandoned campsite near the Dry River Trail in Cutt’s Grant. The Dry River area is a very remote portion of the White Mountains; searchers had to hike approximately four hours to access the area to begin searching. Assisting in the search were Upper Valley Wilderness Search and Rescue, New England K-9 Search and Rescue, Pemigewassett Valley Search and Rescue, Appalachian Mountain Club, U.S. Forest Service, state police, Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue, and state forest rangers.
