Body of British hiker found in Italian alps as search continues for second missing since Jan. 1
Rescue crews have found the body of a British hiker buried in the snow of the Italian alps. They are continuing to search for the hiker's friend who had also been missing since Jan. 1.Italy’s Alpine rescue service said it only received an alert about the men on Jan. 6, five days after the men set out in the Adamello range near Trento, after they failed to make a scheduled flight home and relatives contacted authorities. After the first two days of searches were hampered by snowfall, fog and avalanche warnings, rescue crews managed to get a helicopter in the air Wednesday and ground crews reached the pair’s last recorded location.
