The body of missing hiker Ottorina Bonaventure has been found in the Yosemite southwest of Tuolumne Meadows in the Echo Creek drainage.
Yuba Net: “The search for a missing woman in Yosemite National Park ended on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 when her body was located in the Echo Creek drainage, a rugged wilderness area southwest of Tuolumne Meadows.
Ottorina Bonaventura, 80, was reported missing by friends when she failed to return to the Vogelsang High Sierra Camp after a day-hike on Jul 30, 2007.

Dog teams and helicopters were used as well.
The cause of death is still under investigation.”
Our deepest sympathies to her family and friends.
