A 63-year-old missing man disappeared from an Arizona campground and hasn’t been seen in days, authorities said.

Jeffrey Gordon Stambaugh was reported missing on Sept. 29 after he never returned to his campground in the Granite Basin area in Prescott National Forest, the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies said Stambaugh may have an injured ankle and left the camping area by foot. He doesn’t have any known medical issues.

Stambaugh’s car was found near a trailhead, and his friend is worried about a possible ankle injury, KTVK 3TV reported.

“The concern is maybe that’s why he’s not on the trail, he could’ve injured it again ... So they’re finally working off trail right now,” the friend, Lucy Hall-Berry, told the news outlet.

Rescuers looked for Stambaugh on trails and used a drone, KPNX reported.

Two bears were reported in the area after rangers found dead animals that were killed by them, the news outlet reported.

Stambaugh has gray hair, hazel eyes, weighs 180 pounds and is 5 feet, 9 inches tall.

Anyone with information can contact the sheriff’s office at 928-771-3260 or Yavapai Silent Witness at 1-800-932-3232.

Prescott is about 100 miles north of Phoenix.

  • Climate change is bringing malaria to new areas. In Africa, it never left

    When a small number of cases of locally transmitted malaria were found in the United States last year, it was a reminder that climate change is reviving or migrating the threat of some diseases. Take Funmilayo Kotun, a 66-year-old resident of Makoko, an informal neighborhood in Nigeria’s Lagos city. Its ponds of dirty water provide favorable breeding conditions for malaria-spreading mosquitoes.

  • US Supreme Court weighs Trump's bid for immunity from prosecution

    The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday confronts a major test of the power of the presidency in arguments over Donald Trump's bid for immunity from prosecution for his efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. The justices at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) will hear Trump's appeal after lower courts rejected his request to be shielded from four election-related criminal charges on the grounds that he was serving as president when he took the actions that led to the indictment obtained by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump, the Republican candidate challenging Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election, is the first former U.S. president to be criminally prosecuted.

  • India sieves online deluge to stamp out disinformation in world's biggest election

    Indian forest service official Surya Sen usually manages a city zoo, but during the world's largest general elections, he has a very different task - rooting out online misinformation to prevent any disturbances. As nearly a billion voters head to the polls in a mammoth six-week programme that began on April 19, officials like Sen counter rapidly spreading online misinformation from election cells that also monitor television and public camera images. "Social media is the primary ground for misinformation," said Sen, whose team monitors social media from an office in India's Silicon Valley city of Bengaluru that goes to the polls on Friday.

  • Russian programmers play 'cat and mouse' game to outsmart censors

    When Antony Rudkovsky was about 15, he began to teach himself how to build virtual private networks (VPNs) to access Internet content unavailable in Russia. At first, the young programmer just wanted to listen to music on the Spotify streaming app in his bedroom in Nizhny Novgorod, a city roughly 270 miles (430 km) east of Moscow. Three years later, Rudkovsky, now 18, snagged $1,200 – the biggest share of the prize money – at a competition last month organised by a civil society group to design a VPN to evade Russia's censors.
