NJ man missing at Grand Canyon for more than a week as wildfire rages on
NEW YORK — A search is underway at the Grand Canyon for a New Jersey man who went missing there early last week. Thomas Daniel Gibbs, 35 of Freehold, was last heard from around noon on July 22, according to a press release from the National Park Service. Investigators believe he was in the Grandview Trail and Horseshoe Mesa area prior to his disappearance. His family reported him missing on Monday. His Tesla Cybertruck was found later that same day in the Grand Canyon's Grandview Point parking lot on the South Rim, park officials said. Gibbs is described as a 6-foot-1 white man with brown hair and brown eyes. His disappearance comes as the Dragon Bravo megafire rages on amid extreme heat warnings in the region, forcing the park service to close off certain parts of Grand Canyon National Park. The fire was sparked by a lightning strike on July 4 and has since become the largest wildfire in the continental United States so far this year, scorching more than 111,000 acres of land, according to AZ Central. Park rangers are asking anyone who was on the Grandview Trail around July 22, or who may have seen Gibbs, to contact the tip line for the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch or to reach out online.
