Deputies conclude search for missing man around woods near East Henrietta Road

HENRIETTA, N.Y. — Crews searched in Henrietta on Thursday around Lehigh Station Trail for Jeffery Hoffere, a Henrietta man who has been missing for almost a month.

On the morning of June 20 he was intoxicated his brother says and planned on sleeping it off which was normal for him. He would either sleep in his car or a hammock, now police say the car is back but no sign of the hammock or Jeffery.

Hoffere wasn’t reported missing until July 7. On Thursday, crews searched the Lehigh Station Trail in Henrietta for hours. They found Hoffere’s car in the area, but that was all. Captain Christopher Faye says crews used all the tools available to them to find Hoffere.

“We’re using GPS units that are on each search party to show us exactly where we searched, both in real-time and a short time so we can examine what might have been missed. Right now, we have no sign that he was back there. The search continues,” said Capt. Christopher Faye of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

Police have done multiple searches as well as family and friends but Thursday was the most extensive. After Thursday they say they should know if he is in the area or not.

If you have seen Hoffere or have any information on where he could be, call 911.
