For those of you who haven't been following updates on the search for missing NAU student, 20 year-old Bryce Gillies, in Grand Canyon, I wanted to let you know that, sadly, his body was found this morning in the Bonita Creek drainage on the north side of the Canyon, following yesterday's discovery of some personal items, including a backpack, nearby.
The breaking news story from the Arizona Daily Sun can be read here.
I'd been hoping there was some way this mission would have a happy ending, listening to radio traffic daily from the Grand Canyon for any hint of what was happening, but it wasn't to be. As someone said to me today when I told them the news, "We can love the Canyon, but the Canyon is indifferent."
