Missing Hiker’s Body Found Underwater at Three Sisters Falls
A volunteer search team looking for a 27-year-old man who went missing last week while swimming in a natural pool at a popular hiking spot near Julian in San Diego found a submerged body on June 19.
Divers made the discovery shortly before 1:30 p.m. in a pool underneath Three Sisters Falls in Descanso, in the area where the missing hiker had last been seen, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
The county Medical Examiner’s Office took custody of the body for identification and autopsy purposes, sheriff’s Lt. William Amavisca said.
The man went missing at around 5 p.m. Friday. Searchers, including personnel in a sheriff’s helicopter, scoured the area over the next three days in hopes of finding him alive….
