Authorities search for a woman who got off a cruise ship in Alaska to hike and didn't return

  • Authorities are searching for 62-year-old Marites Buenafe, a University of Kentucky employee, who went missing July 1 in Juneau, Alaska after leaving a cruise ship to hike alone.
  • Buenafe took a popular tourist tram to the top of Mount Roberts on July 1 and planned to hike Gold Ridge and Gastineau Peak before failing to return to the Norwegian Bliss.
  • Ground and aerial searches, including helicopters and thermal drones, were conducted Tuesday and resumed Wednesday despite overcast, rainy weather limiting some aerial efforts.
  • Alaska State Trooper spokesperson Austin McDaniel stated that numerous resources are currently being deployed, and responders remain optimistic about successfully locating Marites and continuing her Alaska vacation.
  • Responders plan to reassess search efforts if Buenafe is not found by the end of Wednesday, while authorities urge anyone with information to contact Alaska State Troopers at 907-465-4000.
