DRAPER -- Search and rescue crews have located the vehicle and bodies of two people missing since Christmas day in the Corner Canyon (http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=13792534#map) area of Draper.

It appears the vehicle went off an 200-foot embankment and down a ravine, where it lays upside down. The body of Micah Huggard, 26 of American Fork, was found inside the Jeep. His fiance, Kyong-Hee Kim, who turned 27 Monday, was found outside the vehicle.

Crews say it'll take a couple of hours to remove the body from the area.

The young couple, which got engaged Christmas Eve, took off on off-road trip Christmas day and told family they planned to return within a couple of hours, but never showed up.

Huggard's family members searched informally for the pair Sunday, But when their search turned up empty, they called authorities around midnight, who began a formal search Monday around 9 a.m.

Family members told KSL the couple had cell phones, but they haven't heard from them.

The couple, which was not dressed for outdoor winter conditions, did call a friend around 8 p.m. Christmas night, but that was the last anyone heard from them.

A family spokesman told KSL Huggard had just started a new job with an alarm company and Kim was an LDS Business College student who was transferring to BYU.

I used to go wheelin in my land cruiser up there in corner canyon in the early 90's. There used to be some good mudholes at the top. I thought that they closed the area to off roading years ago.
