SEATTLE -- The King County Sheriff's Office said searchers found a hiker Monday who had been missing for 24 hours following a Sunday morning hike.

The sheriff's office spokesperson says they received a call to 911 around 8:30 Sunday night when a group of seven hikers said they lost track of one of their group members. KCSO ATV search crew spent six hours searching for the Seattle man, reportedly in his 40s, late last night and well into the morning but couldn't find him.

Search crews said they were surprised at the chilly conditions over night. It is unknown if the man was prepared for the low temperatures.
