B.C. mountaineer missing in Italy is seasoned survivalist, MLA says
British Columbia legislature member Amelia Boultbee, who studied law with missing mountaineer Kalie McCrystal, says McCrystal's family and friends are "sitting by the phone" as the search for the woman continues in Italy. Boultbee, representing Penticton-Summerland, notes that McCrystal is not an ordinary hiker and her disappearance while attempting to break a mountain-running record on the Matterhorn is a mystery.
The search was suspended, which has been "very upsetting" to Boultbee. McCrystal has extensive experience with the Matterhorn and was spotted via telescope the last time she was seen, showing no signs of trouble. McCrystal's family and friends remain hopeful she will be found alive.
