Missing north Idaho man found alive and well

The Kootenai County sheriff’s office says rescue crews have found a 53-year-old northern Idaho man who went missing after his vehicle ran out of gas in the Burnt Cabin Saddle area.
Maj. Ben Wolfinger says Kent Giese, of Post Falls, was located at about 11 a.m. on Monday.
Giese was in good condition and refused medical assistance from emergency workers, deciding to stay behind and free his vehicle from a foot of snow.
The sheriff’s office says Giese’s rescue capped the third successful search in the past 24 hours and drivers, as well as outdoor enthusiasts, should be warned snow conditions are not favorable. (AP)
