Rescuers Find Body Of Missing Texas Man In Grand Teton National Park
MOOSE, Wyoming (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - Rescuers have located and recovered the body of a 26-year-old Texas man in Grand Teton National Park after he was reported missing on Thursday, Oct. 21.
The National Park Service said Jared Hembree of Cibolo, about 25 miles northwest of San Antonio, was found Sunday near Uhl Hill in the eastern part of the park, or just southeast of the community of Moran.
The Park Service and the Teton County Sheriff's Office are investigating the cause of death.
A search involving more than 80 personnel began after park law enforcement received a call expressing concern for Hembree's welfare based on the caller's interaction with Hembree just outside the park.
Hembree's vehicle was found at the Game Warden Point parking area in the eastern part of Grand Teton.
Several agencies participated in the search, including the Civil Air Patrol and Wyoming Highway Patrol.
