Camille Cleverley's body was found near Bridal Veil Falls, according to Salt Lake City TV. Details are skimpy. Presser expected shortly. The area had been searched earlier and now researched.
That sounds like the mountain lion attacks in Orange County in January 2004:

RIP.
The TV news said her body was found pretty high up the mountain. Probably fell. People are getting stranded and injured up there all the time.
BRIDAL VEIL FALLS - The search for missing Brigham Young University Student Camille Cleverley has ended as her body was located at the base of a cliff near the falls this afternoon.
Search and rescue crews discovered Cleverley’s body at 3:31 p.m. in some brush and trees near a rock-strewn field at the base of a 200-foot tall cliff located about a quarter-mile east of the falls, said Utah County Sheriff Jim Tracy.
Cleverley appears to have died from injuries sustained from a fall, said Tracy. Tracy said he could not yet rule out foul play pending a full investigation. Two detectives and a medical examiner were on the scene as of 4:30 p.m.
Police were able to confirm the body was Cleverley through clothing and other items found at the scene, Tracy said. Her time of death is not yet known.

Very sad news.
She was such a pretty girl, too.
We saw the police chief being interviewed on tv. He said that two men had cut the lock off the bike, had taken the bike to their chop shop...The police were tipped off as the bike was in parts ready for resale by the pieces.
The reporter asked him repeatedly; he was quite firm.
IF the bike was LOCKED, she died from a fall most likely. A KILLER wouldn’t lock a bike UNLESS she was killed AFTER locking her bike.
Quite a few people try and climb the cliffs around the falls to get to the various higher levels...and many do it without climbing gear. There have been fatal falls there in the past.
Since her bike was found there and it was locked (as I understand it in the bike rack there), my guess is she rode there, parked and locked the bike, then went hiking and tried to get up higher and fell. But that's just a guess and I will reserve further judgement until a full investigation is complete.

The police chief said that the two thieves admitted that they cut the lock and stole the bike two days after she left it.
Apparently these thieves were watching the area ?
I am not guessing on what / who killed her; just what the police chief reported as to the bike theft.
These guys may only have been bike thieves , not killers ?
Thanks : They lawyered up ?
The families contacted defense lawyer Catherine Cleveland for legal advice...
Marks said on KSL. “I was taking it because I didn’t think it belonged to anybody who needed it.”
how did he know that?
It's a very common waterfall name -- there are Bridal Veil Falls in New Hampshire, New York (Niagara), Oregon, North Carolina, California (Tahoe, Yosemite), Pennsylvania, Colorado, etc., plus British Columbia, two in Ontario, two in Alberta.....
Sensible thing to do. Cops coulda' thrown the book at them.
[It’s a very common waterfall name]
And near Valdez, AK
Ben Marks, 19, and Patricia Madsen, 17...
Marks said his mom yelled at him for nearly four hours. "She was very mad,"
.
Yeah...I bet he thought of the lawsuits about to be filed by PETA.

Good rule of thumb to always carry a handgun when in wilderness areas. Here in AZ there are some desert parks inside city limits where it’s not allowed, but I’ve never seen cat sign their either. The most dangerous things in those places are personal stupidity, rattlers, scorpions, and javalina, in that order. Anytime outside Phoenix city limits - I always pack.
When I go bird hunting, I always carry a sidearm. It’s extra weight, but I don’t expect 2 rounds of #8 birdshot (I hoist an over/under) to take down a large desert critter like a wolf or lion. In southern AZ we have leopards, too, and some wolf sighting as well. Usual sidearm is an old .357 revolver and usually pack a speed loader too... Highly accurate, big round, and extremely reliable - revolvers tend not to jam even when muddy and/or wet.
On the other hand, if a big cat wants to jump you from behind, not much you can do about it other than be catfood.
