A search of the area located Cian's car at the Lupine Meadows Trailhead on Sunday, 13 June, and while aerial and ground search operations have been underway since then with over 40 park staff involved, there has been no further sightings of the Dubliner apart from an initial witness stating they were speaking to a man with an Irish accent who said he worked in Jackson.
The search has been scaled back, with police now investigating new clues as they emerge.
While the 27-year-old is understood to have been hiking in the National Park, it is unclear which direction he may have been heading, and searches were carried out in the Garnet Canyon, Surprise, Amphitheater, Delta or Taggart Lakes area, the Teton Park appeal states.
The Park have issued a public appeal to help in the search for Cian, and have asked anyone with information to call 888-653-0009, email [email protected] or visit the website here.
