His car was noticed by a park ranger on the morning of June 8 as it was the only one in the Zabriskie Point parking lot, one of the park’s most popular viewpoints, the release said.Three days later, the same park ranger saw the same vehicle in the parking lot and remembered it. Park rangers launched an investigation and learned Kelleher had not been reported missing.
A ground and aerial search was limited due to the hot weather and focused on the Golden Canyon and Badlands Trails.Ultimately, Kelleher’s body was found around 2 p.m. Tuesday about two and a half miles from his vehicle and about 30 feet from California Highway 190, according to the park service. It was “obscured by terrain and a mesquite tree,” officials said.
In extreme heat, people should wait at a broken vehicle rather than walk for assistance, according to the park service.
