According to a news release on Thursday, a Wyoming Department of Transportation employee notified the sheriff s office that a vehicle was parked several hundred yards off Wyoming Highway 28 on South Pass. The employee reportedly checked the vehicle and found it unoccupied, but did observe a single set of footprints leading way from the vehicle in the snow.
A deputy responded to the scene and followed the footprints south from the vehicle and found items that were apparently discarded by the victim, the release says.
As a result of weather conditions, Fremont County Search and Rescue responded along with a helicopter. Eventually, the helicopter crew observed a person lying in the snow approximately four miles from the vehicle. After landing, the crew found the 35-year-old woman deceased.
