Search and rescue crews in Juneau are looking for a missing cruise ship passenger who didn’t return from a hike Monday.
Police say 62-year-old Marites Buenafe, a Kentucky resident and passenger aboard the Norwegian Bliss, disembarked around 7:30 a.m. on July 1 and told family she planned to take the tram up the mountain and hike alone.
She never returned to the ship, which departed at 1:30 p.m.
Buenafe is described as 5’1″, about 110 pounds, with short black hair and brown eyes.
The Alaska State Troopers and Juneau Mountain Rescue launched a search operation, which remains ongoing.
Anyone with information is urged to contact authorities.
