A body believed to be that of missing hiker Frank Stanley, 44, of Englewood, was recovered Saturday, and officials will now begin efforts to get a positive identification.
The body was recovered by a privately funded “extreme recovery team,” according to a statement from Park County Coroner David Kintz Jr.
Three rescue workers were injured Aug. 21 trying to recover the body, which was found at an elevation of nearly 9,000 feet, near McMurdy Creek. A horse also broke its leg and had to be put down.
The body was 150 feet down in a cavelike area, where water from the creek runs in. It is accessible only by rope, Park County officials said.
Search teams found the body Aug. 20 near Bison Peak.
