After multiple search and rescue efforts, a missing hiker has been found dead in Texas' Big Bend National Park. The body of a 24-year-old man, who's yet to be publicly identified by authorities, was discovered on the Marufo Vega Trail, a strenuous trek that takes hikers through 14 miles of barren desert and rocky limestone cliffs.
The discovery was made yesterday after park rangers noticed a car had been parked at the route’s trailhead for several days. That morning, a multi-pronged search and rescue effort, which included the use of helicopters, set out to find the car’s owner, scouring Marufo Vega and two nearby trails.
