SANDY -- Police to resume the search Tuesday morning for the body a woman who slipped and fell into a waterfall while hiking a trail in Bells Canyon.
Kimberly Evans has been missing since June 26, when the 26-year-old from Holladay was washed away by the rushing water and fell about 90 feet over the falls.
Experts have narrowed down locations where they believe Evans' body may be. They do not believe she made it to the reservoir but haven't said exactly where they'll be looking.
Police closed the trails above the reservoir beginning at 8 a.m. They planned to string wire across the river and tether teams to that, allowing them to search from above the water with poles.
Lt. Victor Quezada of the Sandy City Police Department said on Sunday, "It's very important that she gets back to her family, number one. For everybody that's been up there trying to get her back, for me personally, it's extremely important. I can only imagine what they're going through not to have their daughter back with them."

A man who was hiking with her survived the fall, but Evans was presumed drowned after searchers couldn't find her before the search was suspended because of dangerous water conditions.
A memorial for Evans is also planned for Tuesday at the church she attended in Holladay.
