Family Narrows Timeline in Search for Missing ASU Student at Grand Canyon

A $5,000 reward seeks the backpack’s finder to help focus the Grand Canyon search.

Overview

  • Relatives released a new timeline that places Sandarsh Krishna in his Bright Angel Lodge room around 11 p.m. on April 27.
  • Park rangers published a photo to find the man who turned in Krishna’s backpack at Bright Angel Lodge on April 28 and ask anyone with leads to call 888-653-0009.
  • Investigators say the man is not a suspect, and the family is offering $5,000 to identify him so they can learn exactly where the bag was found.
  • Krishna’s last possible location is the Rim Trail on Hermit Road between Bright Angel Lodge and Mohave Point, with cell-tower hits spanning a wide area from Mojave Point to Pima.
  • The Grand Canyon’s vast terrain and imprecise phone data make witness details vital, and Krishna’s bag—holding clothes for a planned Las Vegas stop—is seen as a key lead.
