R.I.P. Sweety. You were 3 yrs older than I am. You must have loved the same music and classic T.V. that I still love. May God hold you in his arms.

Maaaanyy people go missing in national parks every year. Never be first, never be last.

People who take off alone, leaving the group behind and people who lag behind a group often end up missing or dead. Stick together, folks!

Damn, that is literally up the road from me. It’s dangerous out in these mountains, most things of great beauty are.

Don't be the last in line. Don't even be in between two groups but out of sight. Don't be without protection especially if alone.

Another one added to the long list of disappearances in those strange outdoor hikings !!!!

[SubUrbanSF]

More detail would be good.
The distance from her disappearance and where she was found etc

I am watching this cause me and my family from western Ohio had went on vacation about one week ago for my cousins birthday and we stayed at a cabin in the Smokey mountains for 3 days and the we left going home through Tennessee and we were on the road and saw one of the message things that they’ll have on highways sometimes and it said search operation so we googled it when we got home and found out that a 53 yo woman and daughter had went missing And then a couple days later we heard the she was found dead right next to the road we drove on and I thought for a while just knowing that right were we were she was only a couple of mini tues away and we could have stopped and looked to do something

I'll wait for the cause of death on this one.

"She lagged behind and disappeared"? So while her daughter walked with her, the mother started falling behind and the daughter lout paced her for so long the basically got split up?

Seems legit

Always have an emergency transponder no matter what even if there is no cell service you will get rescued. it's the same thing extreme mountain hikers wear....as well as pilots and people on ships and ocean liners. Anyone that works in dangerous conditions and could be lost at some point due to those conditions may want to look these up. Especially if you are going to be in the ocean or the mountain any extreme place this should be number one on your list to stay safe they aren't very expensive But if you make the beacon go off accidentally or on purpose when you don't need it is a gigantic fine and issue because when that beacon goes out and people start responding from all close areas.... everybody is going to be coming all hands on deck. so you pretty much have to pay for wasting their time and I'm sure you would get a couple other fines as well just for good luck :-)... You pull the pin and it releases an emergency beacon to all that can hear the message in the near area and it has a GPS coordinate of the Ping

Not enough coverage to determine foul play, if any. Let me know when the autopsy results are revealed. Let's not jump to conclusions boys and girls.

So much for all of those "prayers", huh? This is still a sad situation though, and my heart goes out to her family and friends. Stop wasting your time praying, because they are useless. Unfortunately, I am not a prayer believing zombie anymore.

A 🐻 did it. Or some wayward dudes like the ones in Deliverance.
