SEDONA, AZ - Northern Arizona authorities say the body of a Sedona woman missing for more than a week has been found.

Coconino County Sheriff's officials say hikers came across the body Saturday while walking on the Huckaby Trail just outside of Sedona.

The body has been identified as Gwendolyn Munday, who was last seen Nov. 7.

The Arizona Daily Sun says county search and rescue personnel had to assist in recovering the body due to the difficult terrain.

Authorities say foul play isn't suspected, but a cause of death has yet to be determined by the county Medical Examiner's Office.
