OLYMPIC NAT’L PARK, Wash. (AP) – A body found in Olympic National Park is believed to be a hiker who went missing in April.

The body is being examined to see if it is 20-year-old Zach Krull.

The Peninsula Daily News reports that Krull had just started his freshman year at The Evergreen State College in Olympia when he went out on a solo camping trip.

The Mason County Coroner says he believes the body is Krull based on gear that was also discovered.

A hiker found the body this past weekend. A Ranger-led team retrieved it the next day.
