The U.S. Army has recovered the remains of the second soldier missing in Morocco’s treacherous coastal cliffs, bringing a heartbreaking close to a multinational search that spanned nearly two weeks. Specialist Mariyah Symone Collington, 19, was found in a hidden cave about 500 meters from where she and 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr. reportedly entered the ocean after falling during an off-duty hike near the Cap Draa Training Area.
According to The Hill, the discovery marks the end of an exhaustive search effort that involved over 1,000 U.S. and Moroccan personnel, cutting-edge technology, and some of the most challenging terrain imaginable. Collington’s remains were pulled from a coastal cave on May 12, 2026, though the Army didn’t confirm her identity until May 14.
