DRAPER -- Search and rescue crews have located the vehicle and bodies of two people missing since Christmas day in the Corner Canyon area of Draper.

It appears the vehicle went off a 400-foot embankment and down a ravine, where it landed upside down. The body of Micah Huggard, 26 of American Fork, was found inside the Jeep. His fiance, Kyoung-Hee Kim, who turned 27 Monday, was found outside the vehicle. It's unclear if they died upon impact.
They were discovered just before 3 p.m. Monday. It took several hours for crews to bring them off the mountain.
The young couple, who got engaged Christmas Eve, left American Fork to go on a brief off-road trip in the Hog Hollow area around 7 p.m. Christmas day. A relative said it was something Huggard has done many times.
"I don't think it's necessarily irresponsible to come up here, but conditions were more risky than they have been at other times because of the weather and moisture and snow in the area," said Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff's Office.
Draper police have said that it is illegal to drive in Corner Canyon and that they have officers patrolling the area and issue citations.
The couple 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. 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 hadn't heard from them.
The couple, who were 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.
Cannon knew Huggard and was his Cub Scout leader in the
