Rescuers retrieve body of Brazilian hiker who fell from Indonesian volcano
SEMBALUN, Indonesia -- Indonesian rescuers on Wednesday retrieved the body of a Brazilian hiker who died after falling from the ridge of a volcano, officials said. The 26-year-old Juliana Marins fell on Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok. The retrieval took at least five hours due to the rocky and steep terrain and foggy weather. 'With this stretcher, it takes quite a long time,' said Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency. Indonesian authorities confirmed her death on Tuesday after the rescuers reached and examined the body, which was found using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by terrain and weather. Millions in Brazil followed the rescue efforts. Indonesian authorities and the rescuer team met with Marins' family to explain the process. 'It turns out that the family can be very accepting of the situation and conditions faced,' Syafii said.

Search for missing fisherman underway along Youghiogheny River
Crews are searching for a fisherman who went missing along the Youghiogheny River. Connellsville Mayor Greg Lincoln said in a Facebook post that the fisherman was reported missing on Wednesday night along the Yough River. Several swift water rescue teams will be coming out to help the New Haven Hose Company and the Connellsville Police Department on Wednesday, Lincoln said. Crews will use sonar equipment to search the river, which recent heavy rains have made potentially dangerous. Officials have been warning people to be cautious on the Yough River. The rivers and rapids that run through Ohiopyle State Park are up almost four feet from their normal two-foot summer level. An experienced kayaker was killed on the river just over a week ago. Earlier this month, three kayakers also had to be rescued when water levels were even higher. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
