Texas Man Missing In Grand Canyon Found Alive

A Texas man who had been missing for nearly two weeks in the Grand Canyon was found alive and is undergoing a medical evaluation, according to the National Park Service.

The man, identified by park officials as 58-year-old Martin Edward O'Connor, of La Porte, Texas, disappeared before Christmas on Dec. 22. At the time, officials put out an advisory saying O'Connor was believed to be traveling alone and was described as being physically fit.

Prior to being found, O'Connor was last seen near the Yavapai Lodge on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Officials said hikers reported seeing O'Connor along a trail where he was later found by park rangers around 10 a.m. local time on Thursday.

Further information was not immediately available.
