YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. – Searchers found a camp and personal effects of a Winona man missing in the Absarokee mountains after scaling remote Eagle Peak in the far southeast corner of Yellowstone National Park. It was assumed the camp, in the upper Howell Creek area, was used by Austin King-Hemke on his way out of the wilderness. His plan had been to hike out to the south arm of Yellowstone Lake to be picked up by a boat and go back to his summer tourism job in the park. He never showed. Meanwhile, a multi-agency searcy for King-Henke continued.
