Colorado USA, May 19, 2010-A Colorado man and his son began flying to Nepal on Monday evening to help search for his 23-year-old daughter, who he says failed to contact her family after hiking there alone last month.

Paul Sacco says his daughter, Aubrey Sacco, last e-mailed her family on April 20, when she started what was to be a roughly 10-day trek through the Langtang valley region north of Kathmandu.

"I want people to see me and know more about my daughter, and feel the urgency that we need to have to search for her," Sacco said by phone Monday about his decision to fly to Nepal. "I understand, from talking with world travelers and others, that nothing substitutes for being there [during a search]."
