Searchers will be out again today looking for a skydiver who's been missing since he jumped out of a helicopter at 6,500 feet east of Seattle on Thursday.  King County sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West says crews are hoping 29-year-old Kurt Ruppert of Lake City, Fla., might be stuck in a tree with his parachute or perhaps lost in rugged state-owned land at Mount Si. The search was suspended when darkness fell Friday evening. Authorities know the flight pattern of the aircraft, but a number of factors have made it difficult to find Ruppert. West said she was told wing suit flyers don't deploy parachutes until they reach an altitude of 2,000 feet.
