CONWAY, N.H. - Rescue teams tramped through the White Mountains woods until early this morning searching for longtime Boston radio and television broadcaster Ted O'Brien, who failed to return from a hike on Sunday.
The 60-year-old midday news anchor for WBUR went on a solo hike on some difficult and lightly traveled trails about 10 miles west of the Maine border, according to New Hampshire officials and station managers.
When he did not return by evening, O'Brien's wife, Susan, called WBUR to say that he was missing. She notified the Carroll County, N.H., sheriff's office, which alerted the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
Rescue officials, who used six dogs to help in the operation, suspended their search at 1 a.
