The body of 58-year-old Tim Keiderling was discovered on Mount Katahdin in Maine on Tuesday, several days after he and his daughter, 28-year-old Esther Keiderling, were reported missing. They had embarked on a hiking trip from the Abol Campground on Sunday, aiming for the summit, and were last seen around 10:15 a.m. that same day.
Search efforts for the pair began on Monday after park rangers located their vehicle in a day-use parking area. Numerous teams, including game wardens, rangers, and K-9 units, have been deployed to search both the ground and the skies around the mountain. The Maine Forest Service and Maine Army National Guard are providing helicopter support to assist in the ongoing search operations.
As of Wednesday, the focus has shifted towards the Tablelands area, as well as various trails and streams on the mountain’s east side, in the hope of finding Esther. The situation remains urgent, considering the rugged terrain and the time elapsed since they went missing. Tim Keiderling’s tragic discovery adds a somber note to the ongoing efforts to locate his daughter, with authorities determined to cover all potential locations in their search. The community is anxiously waiting for updates, hoping for a positive outcome as rescue teams continue their diligent work.
