By on Fri, January 7, 2005

The Sheriff’s office suspended the search for the 28-year-old Fremont man whose car was found on the Devil’s Slide on Wednesday. This includes searches on the cliffs, in the ocean, and from the air. According to Lt. Steve Shiveley of the Moss Beach Substation, "the case has reached the investigative phase." The Sheriff will be working with Fremont and SF State Police on the case. Ongoing searches will continue with volunteers, however.

The Mercury News reported Tuesday:

Herminder Sidhu, a resident of Fremont, was reported missing by his family after he did not return home from a trip to San Francisco State University on Sunday morning. Sidhu’s car, a white Honda Accord, was found parked on Highway 1, overlooking the ocean on Monday evening.

Rescue climbers began combing the cliffs around the car on Monday evening. A plane from the air squadron joined the search on Tuesday morning.
