WAINAKU, HI. (THECOUNT) — Missing woman Megan May Funderburk has been found dead after an apparent fall off a cliffside.
The body of Funderburk, 24, was located by crews around 9:30 a.m. Saturday. She apparently fell roughly 30 feet from a cliff in the same general area of Wainaku Scenic Point where she was last seen on Feb. 9, 2020. The point is located just north of Hilo.
Volunteer teams began a coordinated search from the area where Funderburk’s phone, shoe and shawl were found, working outward in search of more evidence. Berquist said they found her in a heavily wooded area.
Police conducted a subsequent investigation. Berquist said he can’t speak for the police and is not a criminal investigator, but from his experience as a civilian search and rescue operator, it doesn’t appear Funderburk’s death involved foul play, reports BigIsland.
