Grand County, Utah — The bodies of two people involved in separate backcountry incidents found over the past few weeks in Grand County

According to Grand County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue teams on June 15, the body of a 68-year-old New Mexico man was recovered after he had been reported overdue from a hike the previous afternoon. After a 1o-hour air and ground search, the man’s body was found at Fisher Towers east of Arches National Park. Officials believe the man had died of his injuries after falling 75-feet.

According to officials, a week earlier, on June 8, the search and rescue teams were called after motorists found a Grand Junction missing man. The man told the crews that his wife was still missing.

After an air and ground search, the woman’s body was found near the Dolores River, a couple of hours after her husband was found and reported missing.
