ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A Sitka woman working in Unalaska died last week on a hike on the Aleutian Island.
KTUU-TV (https://bit.ly/1FptQ7i) reports the body of 33-year-old Jessica Acker was recovered from Pyramid Valley.
Acker worked for a fisheries observation firm at a seafood plant.
Unalaska Police Chief Jamie Sunderland says Acker on Feb. 8 was dropped off at Pyramid Valley for a hike.
She did not show up for work Feb. 9 and was reported missing. Searchers found her body in the afternoon but poor weather that included heavy snow delayed an immediate recovery.
Sunderland says Acker apparently suffered serious injuries in a fall.
He says Acker was an avid outdoorswoman who had hiked in the area many times and the cause of her fall is not known.
