A search and rescue team has recovered the body of a second US service member who went missing near a cliff during a training exercise near Cap Draa, Morocco, the US Army and Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces said on Wednesday.
US and Moroccan searchers found and retrieved the remains of a US service woman on Tuesday from a coastal cave roughly 500 meters (550 yards) from where the two soldiers went missing, the US Army said in a statement.
The Army identified her as Specialist Mariyah Symone Collington, 19, an air and missile defense crew member in an artillery regiment.
The body of the other soldier, 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., was recovered on May 9.
More than 1,000 US and Moroccan military and civilian personnel took part in the search, the Army said, covering an area of more than 21,300 square kilometers (8,200 square miles).
