On this West Virginia Morning, a hiker was rescued earlier this month after going missing in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge for two weeks. Shepherd Snyder has more on what it takes to pull off these rescues.
Also, young people in rural communities are just as likely to exhibit risky behaviors as their urban and suburban peers but may have less access to help. West Virginia University is part of a coalition developing resources to change that nationwide.
