slide10The search for a Pioneer man ended happily Friday afternoon after the man was found by Amador County Search and rescue personnel. Sheriff’s Department officials received a call Friday morning  around 9 am that William Pauli, 86 of Pioneer had wandered away from his Deer Ridge Rd home. Due to his age and a medical condition the sheriff’s department considered him missing and at risk. 
He left in an unknown direction of travel and had approximately 20-30 minute head start in front of emergency personnel.  Amador County Sheriff’s Deputies, the Sheriff’s Search and rescue team, the CHP Helicopter aerial search, and K9 tracking teams began searching the area. They were joined by the Sheriff’s ATV patrol.  Under Sheriff James Wegner also reported that the Sheriff’s Department launched their Reverse 911 system to notify neighbors in the area to be on the look out.  Mr. Pauli had also walked away from his home in August of 2004, wherein a full search was implemented at that time. He was subsequently located, in August 2004, in the Mokelumne River Canyon. Mr. Pauli was found by searchers later in the day on Friday  as well
