Nothing. Not a trace.

The family held a celebration of life last month that brought more than 200 friends and family together. That was comforting, and there are some days when Peggy LeMaitre does well.

Other days, she's a wreck.

"The pain is so real," she said. "I know he's not going to come back."

Cuts and bruises and even broken bones are fairly common in the Mount Marathon race, and in this year's event three people were hurt, including one man who sustained critical head injuries. But never has anyone died or gone missing, and LeMaitre's disappearance hit the town of about 2,700 hard.

Seward Fire Chief Dave Squires, whose crews were involved in the initial search, said many residents have felt compelled to look for the missing man.

Squires expects a spike in searchers after the dense mountain foliage begins to thin in the fall. His crews might check some spots. The goal for many is to find some kind of closure, Squires said.
