EMERY COUNTY -- The body of a Colorado woman who was reported missing since November was found in Emery County Saturday.
On April 25, three men who were hiking in a slot canyon came across a human body. They notified the Emery County Sheriff's Office, and deputies recovered the remains the next day.
The body was transported to the Utah Medical Examiner's Office, and later identified as 54-year-old Rose Backus.
Backhaus was last seen checking out of a Moab hotel on Nov. 16. Her SUV was found at a nearby canyon trail head on Nov. 24. A search crew was organized, but nothing was found until this weekend.
