An 80-year-old Schererville woman missing in Yosemite National Park since July 30 has been found dead.

Ottorina "Trina" Bonaventura, 80, was reported missing by friends when she failed to return to the Vogelsang High Sierra Camp after a day-hike. More than 150 searchers from counties throughout California, the National Park Service, and DNC Parks and Resorts in Yosemite Inc. participated in the search. Dog teams and helicopters also were used.

A ranger found Bonaventura's body Monday evening in the Echo Creek drainage, a rugged wilderness area southwest of Tuolumne Meadows, Adrienne Freeman, a Yosemite spokeswoman, said Tuesday.

The cause of death is still under investigation, and funeral arrangements are pending.
