A Miramichi-area man who'd
been missing for more than two days walked out
of the woods Monday night – tired and cold but
otherwise in pretty good shape.
Martin Cox, 58, stumbled onto a rural
highway at about 8:30 p.m., several kilometres
from where he lived.

Martin
Cox | He was
immediately picked up by a passing motorist and
driven home.
Search and rescue teams, with the
assistance of an RCMP helicopter, had been
looking for Cox in the Chaplin Island Road area
since early Sunday morning.
He went missing Saturday afternoon while
clearing a path behind his house.
When he didn't return several hours
later, his wife called police.
Cox had recently moved to the Miramichi
area from Toronto.
Search and rescue officials speculated
that he didn't have much experience in the
woods.
