Mr Oroc was last seen on Saturday in Nye County, southwest of the town of Eureka, in Nevada. Search co-ordinators in the United States are suggesting those wanting to help search for the missing paraglider log on to http://9mile.xcskies.com. The hope is someone might spot Mr Oroc’s white, blue and grey Zeno paraglider or his white or possibly red reserve parachute. In a recent update, search team member Amanda Jane said an extensive search near where his Garmin GPS device last put out a signal found no sign of him.
