Family searching for missing Fort Worth hiker Joshua McClatchy who vanished on the Buckeye Trail

Joshua McClatchy, of Fort Worth, sent a text to his mother before he vanished while hiking on the Buckeye Trail in Arkansas.
The sheriff called the Caney Creek Wilderness a "remote and rugged mountainous area" that has many hiking trails. He said it's not uncommon for hikers to go missing but that they're usually found within hours.

“We will do whatever it takes to find Mr. McClatchy and get him home to his family," he said Tuesday. "We will continue searching and we will find him. The area we are searching today is extremely tough to negotiate. It’s rocky. It’s steep, and it’s thick."
