A Kentucky doctor who was previously reported missing in Alaska has been found dead, the Juneau Police Department said.

The body of 62-year-old Marites Buenafe, a missing cruise passenger, has been found after she vanished while on a solo hike in Alaska, authorities have said.

Marites Buenafe, originally from Kentucky, told her family she'd disembarked from the Norwegian Bliss for a hike. She never came back to the ship.
