Missing woman found dead by hiker
After a hiker discovered the body of a missing woman near Bunco Trail on Friday, police found her daughter alive.
The 84-year-old mother and her 58-year-old daughter were previously reported missing out of a neighboring state.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office has not yet released their names.
KCSO said it appears the mother exited the pair’s vehicle after it became disabled.
A hiker later discovered her body.
Deputies found her daughter alive in the vehicle.
The surviving woman was reportedly dehydrated and hungry when deputies found her.
She is receiving medical care, according to KCSO.
Shortly after KCSO confirmed that the women had been found, an Oregon law enforcement agency canceled an alert for two women reported missing out of Pendleton, Ore.
The women — 84-year-old Dorothy “Kae” Turner and 58-year-old Heidi Turner — were reported missing earlier this week, after leaving Oregon to travel to Utah.
They were traveling on an “unusual route” in Idaho, police said, and were reportedly spotted near Post Falls.
Pendleton police said the women have been located.
This is a developing story.
