Update on Missing Greeley Woman

U.S. Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado urged the U.S. Embassy in Nepal to begin an investigation into the disappearance of 23 year old Aubrey Sacco of Greeley. A family friend and spokesperson Aileen Barry said at least two search parties were going into the Langtang National Park in Nepal, where Aubrey started a long trek on her own on April 20 and has not been heard from since. Barry said family members became concerned when Aubrey hadn't checked back in.






The trek usually takes 10-15 days to complete and is not considered dangerous, with plenty of opportunities along the way for food and water. The problem is communication, which gives the Sacco family hope that Aubrey may just be out of reach of phones. The Nepal government, local Sherpas, local police and the embassy have all pledged help to find her.
