the body of a woman who was swept away in a flash flood in the Grand Canyon last week has been recovered, the National Park Service said.
Search teams had been looking for 33-year-old Chenoa Nickerson of Gilbert, Ariz., since she and her husband were swept into Havasu Creek about half a mile above the Colorado River on Thursday afternoon.
Her husband was rescued by a rafting group, but Nickerson, who wasn’t wearing a life jacket, vanished. She was last seen about 100 yards above an area called the confluence, where Havasu Creek meets the Colorado River.
A commercial river expedition found Nickerson’s body about 11:30 a.m. Sunday about 19 miles downriver from where she disappeared.
