The body of a 28-year-old Kalispell woman was recovered March 14 near the head of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park after it was spotted by personnel in a search helicopter.

A search for Amy Marie Reddig started around 10:15 a.m. after the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office issued a missing person report.
