Body of 24-year-old hiker found on rugged trail in Big Bend National Park in Texas, officials say

Searchers found the body of a 24-year-old hiker on a rugged trial in Big Bend National Park in Texas, the National Park Service says.

According to the service, park rangers became concerned the day before because a vehicle was parked for several days at the trailhead for the Marufo Vega/Strawhouse/Ore Terminal Trail.

"Records indicated that there were no overnight backpackers listed for that area for those nights. A quick search by the park pilot was unable to locate hikers in the area," the service said.
