Yet despite their best efforts more than forty expert search and rescue personnel a New Hampshire Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter and a Civil Air Patrol Cessna airplane could not reach her in time to save her. What went wrong? Where Youll Find Me offers possible answers to that question demonstrating why Matrosovas storywhat we know and what we will never knowrepresents such an intriguing and informative case study in risk analysis and decision-making.
