The search for a missing 22-year-old at Yellowstone National Park has now transitioned from a rescue mission to a recovery mission, according to park officials.
Austin King was last heard from on Sept. 17 when he called friends and family from the summit of Eagle Peak, located in a remote area of the park, said the National Park Service.But an exhaustive search has produced no results.
“Although we will continue to hope for the best, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Austin’s family, friends and colleagues. I also want to thank the teams from Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, and Park and Teton counties, Wyoming, who have all worked tirelessly to find Austin in some of the most difficult and remote terrain in Yellowstone.
