EUREKA, Nev. (AP) — Authorities in eastern Nevada have suspended the search for a well-known paraglider from New Zealand who has been missing in the mountains south of Eureka for a week.
The Elko Daily Free Press reports James "Kiwi" Johnston disappeared Aug. 23 while flying about 250 miles east of Reno.
The New Zealand Herald reported earlier he's a journalist, photographer and artist who regularly flew long distances. Johnston planned to fly to Wendover on the Nevada-Utah line.
