Do you know who Julian Sands is?
He’s an amazing British actor, best known for his roles in The Killing Fields, A Room with a View, Warlock, Arachnophobia, Boxing Helena, and Leaving Las Vegas.
He went solo hiking on Mount Baldy In Southern California and was reported missing two months ago on January 13, 2023. Since his disappearance, all of our local mountains have had a record-breaking amount of snow.
His car was found in the parking lot, but no other signs of him. His outcome seems bleak.
This is a treacherous mountain to climb even with the best weather scenario. Others have gone missing, too. Some are found, some never are, nor are their remains located.
I haven’t heard any information about whether he was carrying a GPS location device or a satellite phone, and there hasn’t been an update about the search in quite a while.
I think it’s important to agree that no matter how experienced a hiker, one should never hike alone.
Years ago, my son and friend (both experienced hikers) were on the 10,000 foot Mt. San Jacinto in Palm Springs when there was a blizzard. They missed the last tram down because the winds were gusting to about eighty miles per hour. We were getting really freaked out because they hadn’t called at the agreed upon time. Just as we were about to contact all the officials, a park ranger called to let us know they made it to a ranger station and were OK. Whew! We were so worried!
Poor Julian Sands. Every time I see Mt. Baldy in the distance, I worry about him, too.
Yeah, I heard about him and worry that he’s probably gone. A Room With a View is one of my favorite movies and he was great in it. Been thinking about asking an intuitive friend if she thinks he’s crossed over. I feel for his family- not knowing is sometimes harder than having a definitive answer.

I’d be interested to see what your friend thinks. It would be difficult to have survived this long up there.

He’s gone. She thinks they’ll eventually find his bones, likely at the bottom of an outcropping or cliff type geography – she thinks he may have leaned out a bit too far and fell. And he may not have been in the greatest mental state – a bit down, which could have made him a little bit careless.

That’s pretty much the same observations another intuitive shared with me. Something about being depressed.

I heard about this on the news then forgot as all went quiet. I imagine he must have lost his bearings and had an accident. 😦 Apparently his friend John Malcovic has said he fears him dead but if so, he died whilst doing something he really loved.Apparently he went hiking alot.

I’m sure there’s more to the story than we’ll ever know.
