Bend Woman Dies From Fall

The body of a Bend woman was recovered in Jefferson County, about 200 feet down the Crooked River Canyon.  Authorities say it appears that Valerie McKie, 38, tragically fell into the ravine.  Tim MclLren, the Fire Chief for Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue explains: "Today we recovered the body of a female victim off the Horny Hollow Trail.  When I say victim, I will just say that it was a recovery not a rescue, I believe they are going to determine that it was an accident."  Deschutes County Sheriff's officials say Valerie McKie was reported missing around 3:30 Sunday afternoon.  Sheriff's Captain Marc Meckathorn urges people who enjoy the outdoors to let someone know where they are going and when they plan to return.
