JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) – Searchers have found three sisters, including a central Ohio teenager, who were missing for days in a northwest Wyoming wilderness area.
The three are cold and hungry but otherwise healthy, search spokeswoman Lori Iverson said Thursday.
Iverson says Kelsi Andrews-Sharer (above left), a junior at Olentangy High School, and her sisters, 22-year-old Erin (center) and Megan (right), 25, of Milwaukee, were spotted by a helicopter about 10:00 a.m. Thursday in Bridger-Teton National Forest, about 25 miles southeast of the resort town of Jackson.
Officials have said they are experienced trekkers who were well-prepared for a backcountry trip.
The search for the sisters began Tuesday after the sisters failed to return from their backcountry excursion. Iverson says they left on June 28 and were scheduled to be in Chicago on Tuesday.
