The body of 62-year-old Marites Buenafe, a missing cruise passenger, has been found after she vanished while on a solo hike in Alaska, authorities have said.

An Alaska Army National Guard helicopter crew found the body of a cruise ship passenger Thursday night after she went for a hike near Juneau.

Dr. Marites Buenafe, 62, was reported missing Tuesday after she failed to return to the Norwegian Bliss before its departure from Juneau, according to the Alaska State Troopers.
