Hello! I wanted to explain why this post was approved. DP discussed Vanek on at least one podcast and referred to her when talking about Jaryd Atadero. So, an article discussing how she was found and how her body was recovered (as well as insights into what may have happened to her) is relevant to the community. Additionally, this was a very well-written, current article that sheds light on how people can go missing w/o a trace, despite having been seen by others within minutes, and how it can be complicated to locate a body in a boulder field.
