The Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office along with the Life Flight Network has found the body of a missing 19-year-old kayaker on Friday after she went kayaking in North Bay on the 16th and went missing sometime on the night of the 16th or early morning of the 17th where her boyfriend spent hours trying to contact the authorities for help.

We send our condolences to the family and friends of the 19-year-old woman.
