No more hope for missing American student in South Africa

A 20-year-old American woman disappeared without a trace while climbing the famous Table Mountain in South Africa. 

University of North Carolina student Brook was doing an internship with an NGO in Cape Town and was enjoying the breathtaking nature of South Africa. So last weekend she left for a hike. 

The 20-year-old student was reported missing Saturday after a tracking app she was using during a solo hike stopped updating and she could not be reached. Her friends called police when there were no updates on her tracking app and they could no longer reach her by phone.

Her body was found Sunday in a mountainous area known as Devil's Peak. 

It is still unclear what exactly happened to the American student. An autopsy should bring more clarity.
