MOAB, Utah (AP) -- Paragliders have ended a search for a missing Moab skydiving instructor without finding a trace of him.
Family friend Micaelo Choo of Sandy says three men flew motorized paragliders over a 55-square-mile area around Moab on Sunday and Saturday in an effort to find 37-year-old David Brown.
Choo says the paragliders left feeling convinced that Brown was nowhere in the large swath of backcountry.
Moab police continue to investigate the disappearance of Brown, who was last seen walking into his Moab trailer on June 29 by his boss and friend, Clint MacBeth, owner of Skydive Moab.
Investigators say there are no signs of foul play and they have few leads.
Choo says it will be the family's call as to how long to continue a volunteer search for Brown.
