Davey Johnson was test riding a motorcycle for a magazine assignment and returning home when he disappeared.
A search for a well-known automotive writer has focused on a river in Calaveras County, with evidence pointing to the journalist having taken a dip in the potentially fast-moving stream.
On Saturday, a tracking dog suggested Johnson had gone toward the river. This time of the year, the river can be fast-moving and cold as the Sierra snowpack melts and flows into streams. “With all evidence pointing towards Mr. Johnson having gone into the Mokelumne River for unknown reasons and with no evidence of foul play, search efforts have continued in the subsequent days along the river’s edge,” the sheriff’s office said.
Friends and colleagues say the route he decided to take was characteristic of Johnson — an impromptu adventure that veered from the straightforward test ride he was assigned. Now, they’re hoping for news that he’s simply off on another adventure. “He’ll season boring car reviews with punk rock references, making a game of needling editors by ever-raising their saturation until you’re left wondering what in the hell you’ve just been fed,” wrote Cantle in aMark Vaughn, a writer for Autoweek, said Johnson was fearless. When colleagues were meeting in the Mojave Desert, he woke up in the early morning to make the five-hour motorcycle ride through the desert.
