SUPAI, Ariz. (AP) The body of an Arizona woman who went missing in the Grand Canyon National Park after a flash flood days earlier was recovered Sunday, park rangers said.
The body of Chenoa Nickerson, 33, from the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert, Arizona, was discovered by a group rafting down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon around 11:30 a.m. Sunday, the park said in a statement.
Rangers recovered Nickersons body, which was transported to the rim by helicopter and transferred to the Coconino County Medical Examiners office.
In a statement issued Sunday, her family thanked searchers and supporters and asked for privacy.
