Grand Canyon National Park rangers, search-and-rescue personnel and dozens of volunteers continue to search for 26-year-old Sandarsh Krishna, who disappeared in the park earlier this week. 

The national park released new details late Friday on social media regarding a backpack thought to belong to Krishna. “Investigators believe Krishna was in possession of a black backpack prior to his disappearance,” park officials posted on Facebook. “A black backpack was later turned in to hotel personnel at Bright Angel Lodge at approximately 7 a.m.”
