A hiker was found dead and his daughter remains missing after the duo attempted to hike to the summit of Maine's highest mountain, officials said Tuesday. Search efforts are continuing in hopes to find her.
Tim Keiderling, 58, and Esther Keiderling, 28, left their campground in Baxter State Park at around 10:15 a.m. Sunday, intending to hike to the 5,269-foot summit of Mount Katahdin, according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife.
Park rangers launched a search for the Keiderlings Monday morning, after discovering their car still parked in a day-use lot on the grounds, according to the department. The rangers searched multiple hiking trails, including the Katahdin Tablelands where the hikers were last seen, but found no signs of the father or daughter.
