A 20-year-old woman's body was found at the Grand Canyon on Tuesday after days of searching for her, officials said Thursday.
Leticia A. Castillo's death was the third one reported at the national park since July 31 and at least the fourth since the start of summer. Officials said they faced inclement weather and hazardous terrain during all three recovery operations.
Castillo, who was from Albuquerque, New Mexico, is believed to have entered the Grand Canyon on or around Aug. 3, officials said. Her body was found about 150 feet below the rim near Twin Overlooks along Desert View Drive. The National Park Service and the county medical examiner are investigating her death.
The federal trial for three former Memphis police officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols is set to begin jury selection on Monday. The former officers are charged with violating the civil rights of Nichols, a 29-year-old man whose fatal beating was caught on police cameras while also triggering protests and calls for police reform.
