The local man who was lost in Thacher Park has been rescued and is headed to the hospital. Officials located 25-year-old Zachary Barrantes Friday morning more than 300 feet below the overlook. Barrantes is said to be conscious but injured after a dramatic four hour rescue operation and over 48 hours on the Helderberg cliff. Temperatures had dipped down into the 20s and 30s.
Barrantes had been missing since New Year's Eve after taking an Uber to the park from his group home.
