(CNN)The body of one of the three men who have gone missing on separate
excursions in Washington's Mount Rainier National Park has been found,
according to the National Park Service.
Matthew Bunker was found dead Monday in a crevasse at the base of a cliff by
search helicopters and climbing rangers, according to a news release from
the National Park Service. He was reported missing on Liberty Ridge on
Friday by a climbing partner, the release said.
The 28-year-old from Seattle had been skiing at the 10,400 foot elevation on
the mountain when he fell on steep terrain, the release said. It isn't
clear what caused his fall.
Bunker, who spent five years in the military, went missing in an area where
six hikers were killed in 2014. Weather conditions and the broken surface of
the Carbon Glacier delayed deployment of ground teams, the NPS said.
"We extend our deepest condolences to Matthew's loved ones and friends" said
Tracy Swartout, deputy superintendent of Mount Rainier National Park. "It
brings us a great degree of sorrow to be unable to bring him home to his
family."
Authorities are still searching for two other men who have gone missing on
the mountain this month.
Vincent Djie was reported missing June 19 after last being seen hiking the
Van Trump Trail toward Mildred Point in the park.
Djie is a student from Indonesia living in Seattle, the NPS said. The agency
said it is coordinating with rescue groups, Djie's family, and the
Indonesian Consulate in San Francisco on this search.
Talal Sabbagh, a Seattle hiker, was last seen hiking in the Paradise area of
the park on June 21, NPS said. The NPS said it is coordinating with rescue
groups and Sabbagh's family on the search.
"Each and every person that goes missing on Mount Rainier is deeply
concerning. Our collective hearts ache with the families and loved ones of
those who remain missing, who are seeking solace and answers during some of
the most difficult days of their lives," Swartout said.
