Found British missing tourist body in New Zealand

Police began searching for Stephanie after 32-year-old did not appear at work Monday.

Police launched a search operation and used helicopters to monitor the mountainous area.

A few hours before her body was found, the police had found Simpson's bag and shoes.

The area was described as a very challenging terrain, and police said other parties are not suspected of involvement at the event.

Her brother-in-law, Sam Hazelton, said her family in Britain hoped to be found alive.

Hazelton said Stephanie liked to walk hard terrain and had experience in expeditions. /tch
