Body of Former White House Chef Found in New Mexico Mountains

The body of a former White House chef has been found more than a week after he failed to return from a hike in mountains in New Mexico.
Walter Scheib, 61, was last seen on Saturday June 13 before he headed to hike a trail in the Taos Ski Valley near Taos, where he had recently moved.

After his concerned girlfriend raised the alarm about his disappearance on Tuesday, search teams scoured the mountains from land and air but found no trace of him.

But cell phone data revealed Scheib's last known location in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and his body was found on Sunday.

'The body was discovered off the immediate trail approximately 1.7 miles from the base of the trail,' New Mexico State Police Sgt. Liz Armijo told ABC News.

'No further details are available at this time. Rescue workers are still gathering information.'
