Schwartz's body was found about a half-mile from her Palm Flats campsite, where she had been staying during the middle of last week. 'This technical rescue team completed two rope rappels to make their way into the canyon to a spot where they were able to see the body and then a third rappel to actually reach the body,' according to Gerry Blair with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office.
Officials said a three-member technical rescue team was searching an unnamed slot canyon below the rim of Oak Creek Canyon around 11 a.m. Authorities have found the body of missing Arizona State University professor Debra Schwartz near Oak Creek Canyon.
