Primate spotted by SoCal hiker likely not Moe


ASSOCIATED PRESS

7:29 a.m. July 15, 2008

LOS ANGELES – A hiker stranded over the weekend in the San Bernardino National Forest says she thinks she saw a monkey in the mountains, but it's not believed to have been Moe, the missing chimpanzee.

Grace Hilario was hiking Friday when she became separated from her group. That afternoon she saw the silhouette of what she said appeared to be a dirty gray monkey weighing about 50 to 60 pounds.

However, Moe is about twice the weight Hilario described and black in color.

And the area where she was found is nearly on the other side of the San Bernardino National Forest, at least 20 miles from where Moe escaped June 27. Jungle Exotics owner Joe Camp says Moe would have had to cross numerous highways to get there from his compound.

Still, volunteers will pay more attention to that area of the forest where Hilario was.

The 42-year-old Moe became a celebrity during the decades he lived in a couple's West Covina home.
