DUGWAY — One month has passed since Army Spc. Joseph Bushling disappeared from his duty station at Dugway Proving Ground on May 8.

The biggest update in the search for him came six days later when the borrowed car he was driving was found in a ravine off a gravel road some distance from the military post. Some distance away, Bushling's hat was also found.

But that is the only substantive update officials have talked about since.

Tooele County Search and Rescue has a search planned Sunday, according to the Sheriff Doug Park. Dugway spokeswoman Paula Thomas said Wednesday that Dugway personnel would assist in a county-led search.

"Soldiers and civilians may search any time on non-duty hours," she added. "There are no new findings to report from Dugway."

Bushling's parents live in Russellville, Ark., and Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., has weighed in on behalf of the family and spoke Wednesday with Dugway commander Col. William E. King IV.
