SAULT STE. MARIE, MI – A 66-year-old woman from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan has vanished in one of the most iconic landmarks in the U.S., sparking a frantic search at Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Martha Overholser, who was last seen on December 10, failed to return to her tour bus at Mather Point on the South Rim, and authorities are now piecing together clues in the hope of locating her.
Woman Last Seen at Mather Point
Martha Overholser was participating in a commercial bus tour of the Grand Canyon when she went missing. According to the National Park Service, she was last seen around Mather Point, a popular viewing spot on the South Rim. Overholser was expected to return to the bus with the rest of the group but never did, prompting an immediate search.
Park officials believe she may have walked away from the area, with the possibility of heading west toward either the Bright Angel Lodge or Hermits Rest.
“Overholser is believed to have walked west from the Mather Point area, possibly towards the Bright Angel Lodge or Hermits Rest,” stated the National Park Service in a release.
Description of Martha Overholser
Overholser, a white woman, stands at 5 feet 2 inches and weighs 110 pounds. She has grey hair and blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a long, off-white coat, a grey hooded sweatshirt, and carrying a navy blue bag. These details are crucial for anyone who may have seen her or has information on her whereabouts since the incident occurred.
The Grand Canyon, known for its vast terrain and rugged landscapes, presents challenges for searchers, but the National Park Service is committed to locating the missing woman.
Ongoing Search and How the Public Can Help
The search for Overholser is ongoing, and park officials are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward. Anyone who may have seen Overholser is encouraged to contact the NPS ISB Tip Line at (888) 653-0009 or email nps_isb@nps.gov. The search effort is part of a broader investigation into her disappearance.
As the search continues, the National Park Service remains hopeful that the public’s help will lead to the discovery of Overholser, who has now been missing for over a week.
