Rangers at Rocky Mountain National Park found a body they believe to be a missing Nebraska man Wednesday near Emerald Lake.
Family members reported Blake Kieckhafer, a 23-year-old Omaha man, missing Monday. The last time anyone saw him was about 5:20 p.m. Aug. 7, when a ride-hail service dropped him off in the Upper Beaver Meadows area of the park.
The Larimer County coroner’s office hasn’t confirmed the remains are Kieckhafer’s, but the park sent a news release about the tentative identification.
After the rangers investigated the site, a helicopter flew the body to a more accessible part of the park, where the coroner’s office took custody. No information about the cause of death is available at this point.
