JACKSON, Wyo. (KIFI) - The body of a Nampa woman who was reported missing for over a month was found in a car crash in Grand Teton National Park.

A fisherman discovered a wallet belonging to Laura Lane on Sunday, July 7. Teton County Deputies and park rangers used an aerial drone and found the submerged car. The car and body were recovered on Monday.

According to Cowboy State Daily, Lane was reported missing on June 2 traveling from Buffalo, Wyoming to Nampa.
