Body believed to be missing Omaha man recovered in Rocky Mountain National Park

Rangers at Rocky Mountain National Park found a body they believe to be a missing Nebraska man Wednesday near Emerald Lake.

Family members reported Blake Kieckhafer, a 23-year-old Omaha man, missing on Monday. The last time anyone saw him was around 5:20 p.m. Aug. 7, when a ride-share service dropped him off in the Upper Beaver Meadows area of the park.

The Larimer County Coroner’s office hasn’t confirmed the remains are Kieckhafer’s, but the park sent a news release about the tentative identification.

After the rangers investigated the site, a helicopter flew the body to a more accessible part of the park, where the coroner’s office took custody. No information about the cause of death is available at this point.
