Authorities have discovered the body of a New York man who went missing while hiking with his daughter on Mount Katahdin in Maine. The father was found near the summit, but his daughter remains missing, prompting an extensive search operation in Baxter State Park. The pair, described as experienced hikers by family members, had not been seen since they set out for the summit several days ago. Park rangers have closed two trails during the search efforts, which continue under challenging conditions. Officials stress the dangers of hiking in the area this time of year.
