 "If we could have somebody call that we can prove actually met Danny on his journey across the country that would be tremendous help to us," Maj. John Tibbitts of the New York State Police said at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon.

 American authorities suspect he may have received a head injury at some point during his journey across the country. 
  
 Sgt. Shaun Hampton with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department said Constantinos (Danny) Filippidis was showing signs of serious memory loss when he called police from the city airport on Tuesday morning identifying himself as someone missing from New York. 
  
 Missing man's route a mystery 
  
 The route Filippidis, 49, took to get there from the ski slope in Lake Placid, N.Y., where he went missing six days earlier, however, remains a mystery. 
  
 Hampton said Filippidis told police he got a ride to downtown Sacramento in a big rig, but did not remember details of the vehicle or the circumstances leading to his departure. 
  
 He also said Filippidis told police he recalled getting a haircut and buying an iPhone before calling authorities, but could not remember details of how he got to the Sacramento airport. 
  
 Hampton said Filippidis showed no signs of impairment, is not facing any charges, and has now been released from a local hospital.

 Frank Ramagnano, president of the Toronto Professional Fire Fighters Association, told CBC News on Tuesday that he understood there was "some indication" that Filippidis had travelled in "some form of truck." 
  
 "His car is in New York state. His car was there, his keys are there," Ramagnano explained. "I'm told that he had the same clothes [on] that he was skiing with on Wednesday ... full jacket, pants — apparently helmet and goggles as well." 
  
 At the news conference on Wednesday, Tibbitts would not comment on the reports of a truck transporting the missing man to California. 
  
 "He's telling us that he really doesn't have a clear picture of what's happened in the last six days. I've got no reason to disbelieve him at this time," he said, adding that Filippidis was en route to the Lake Placid region at that moment, and that he would be sitting down with New York State police at some point on Wednesday. 
  
 Tibbitts said police would be asking permission from Filippidis to gain access to his medical records from the hospital in Sacramento. 
  
 Over 6,000 people helped in search 
  
 Capt. John Streiff, of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Rangers, told media on Wednesday that conditions during the search on Whiteface Mountain were "cold, frigid, rugged mountain territory." 
  
 He said in total, over 6,000 people, "that's all searchers and everyone involved," had helped in the search effort for the last six days. 
  
 "Other than a few lower leg injuries and small bruises we came off very safely for such an arduous operation," he said. "Co-operation, cohesion and the team work — from search management perspective it went very, very well. We actually looked back on it as a great training opportunity."

 According to Ramagnano, about 100 Toronto firefighters travelled to the area to help with the search, and an equal number of their colleagues agreed to backfill their shifts. 
  
 "We use the word 'brother' and 'sister' in the fire department, and to me things are just words until you actually partake in the action, and that's what you saw here," he said. 
  
 Tibbitts said that Filippidis told his wife and a friend that he was "surprised and overwhelmed with the efforts that were made" to find him. ||||| In this Feb. 13, 2018 photo provided by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department in Sacramento, Calif., via the New York State Police, Constantinos (Danny) Filippidis is shown.

 WILMINGTON, N.Y. (AP) — Police on Wednesday were trying to piece together how a 49-year-old skier whose disappearance sparked a massive search on a snowy New York mountainside ended up six days later in California, confused and still in ski clothes. 
  
 Toronto firefighter Constantinos "Danny" Filippidis told investigators he doesn't know what happened after he was reported missing Wednesday, Feb. 7, from Whiteface Mountain during an annual ski trip with colleagues. The search ended Tuesday when Filippidis turned up in Sacramento, California, some 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) west of the Adirondacks. 
  
 "At this point, we want to assist Danny in getting back the last six days of his life," said New York State Police Maj. John Tibbitts. 
  
 Filippidis was heading back to the Lake Placid, New York, area on Wednesday. Tibbitts said the firefighter had agreed to be interviewed by state police but that he's not aware that Filippidis broke any laws. 
  
 Frank Ramagnano, president of the Toronto Professional Firefighters' Association, told reporters at a news conference Tuesday evening that Filippidis appeared to be "confused and was unable to give direct answers." 
  
 "He had phoned (his wife) and called her by a nickname. She quickly recognized the voice and that it was him," Ramagnano said. "Then they lost contact and he contacted her again and they kept him on the phone and asked him to call 911 to get him help as soon as possible." 
  
 Filippidis told deputies he remembered little, but thought he'd suffered a head injury, rode in a "big rig-style truck" and slept "a lot," Sgt. Shaun Hampton of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department told the Post-Standard of Syracuse. 
  
 Filippidis said he bought an iPhone to call his wife and told deputies that a truck dropped him off in downtown Sacramento, where he got a haircut, Hampton said. 
  
 Tibbitts said it was too early in the missing person investigation to comment on details provided from others. He also declined to estimate the cost of the six-day search, which involved a helicopter and up to 140 people a day, some combing the snow with hands. 
  
 Police distributed a picture of Filippidis taken in California on Tuesday, hoping people who recognize him can help solve the mystery. 
  
 "He wants to find out where he was as badly as we want to find out where he was," Tibbitts said. |||||
Solution:
A Toronto fire captain's skiing trip to upstate New York turned into a cross-country trip to California—and authorities say he has no idea how. Constantinos "Danny" Filippidis, who was reported missing in the Whiteface Mountain area Feb. 7, turned up 2,500 miles away, confused and still wearing his ski clothes, the AP reports. Sgt. Shaun Hampton of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department says the 49-year-old called police from Sacramento's airport Tuesday morning, identifying himself as a missing person, reports the CBC. Hampton says Filippidis, who showed no signs of impairment, said he remembered little, but he believed he had suffered a head injury and could recall riding in a "big rig-style truck." When colleagues last saw him, he said he was going for a final ski run by himself. Hampton says Filippidis bought an iPhone early Tuesday and made a confused call to his wife, who recognized his voice and urged him to call 911. Authorities say thousands of people, including around 100 Toronto firefighters, assisted in the search in rugged terrain around the ski resort, where Filippidis had left his car in the parking lot. Frank Ramagnano, chief of the Toronto firefighters' union, says Filippidis appears "confused and was unable to give direct answers." Authorities are asking anyone who might have seen the firefighter during the time he was missing to come forward with information. New York State Police Maj. John Tibbitts says Filippidis doesn't appear to have broken any laws, but he has agreed to be interviewed by police and "wants to find out where he was as badly as we want to find out where he was."
