Human remains have been discovered near Arizona's Crystal Rapids following a deadly flash flood in the Grand Canyon two weeks ago. The remains were recovered by National Park Service personnel and have been transferred to the Coconino county medical examiner's office, according to the agency. Two bodies, those of a Texas chiropractor and a martial artist, were among those found in the aftermath of the disaster.
A third individual, Timothy Smith, a 53-year-old pilot from Wyoming, remains unaccounted for. The National Park Service has not identified the remains, stating that no further information will be released at this time. Carrie Smith, Timothy's wife, acknowledged the discovery of human remains on Facebook, requesting that the public continue to pray for her family.
She described Timothy as an outdoor enthusiast who loved taking them to new places and revisiting familiar ones. The Smiths are aware of the search team's efforts to bring Timothy home.
