  "account": "The family of Kalie McCrystal, the renowned Canadian skyrunner and mountaineer, has stated that she remains \"among the mountains where she felt most at home\" following her disappearance on the Matterhorn in the Alps over two weeks ago. Her mother and sister made the statement on Tuesday, detailing their hopes and acceptance of the outcome after a thorough search. According to the family statement, McCrystal was last seen on September 1, as she prepared to attempt to break a mountain-running record in the Alps, scaling the 4,478-metre-tall Matterhorn. Friends and supporters from around the world mobilized to assist in the search, and the statement praises the efforts of the search and rescue teams. Despite the heartbreaking reality of not finding McCrystal, the family is comforted by the knowledge that she was pursuing her passion until her final moments, and is remembered as a person who lived life with determination and joy.",
