Lost Cheyenne Family Identified

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Authorities have identified a Cheyenne woman found dead in the Medicine Bow Mountains following a family snowmobiling trip that left her son with frostbite and her husband separated from the group.

Albany County sheriff's officials found 46-year-old Susanne Withers dead Tuesday, ending a three-day search for the trio.

Severe weather conditions had forced the woman, her 46-year-old husband, Jerry Withers II, and their 18-year-old son, Jerry Withers III, to spend Saturday night in a snow cave after one of their three snowmobiles broke down.

The father went to find help Sunday but was left stranded after two other snowmobile mishaps.

Rescuers found him in good condition Monday. The son and mom, who had passed away, were found Tuesday.

The son is recovering at a Colorado hospital.
