Body of missing photographer found in western Colorado
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) -- A search and rescue crew has discovered the body of a missing photographer along a hiking trail in western Colorado.
The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office said Friday that 62-year-old Conrad Earnest was found near Glade Park, south of Colorado National Monument. An autopsy was pending but the cause of death isn't considered suspicious.
The announcement came after Grand Junction police said that a missing person report had been filed for Earnest, a Grand Junction resident, on Thursday.
Earnest specialized in nighttime photography, and The Associated Press recently published a photo he'd taken of the comet Neowise above Colorado National Monument.
