The father of two from Houston, TX, appeared in footage recorded on August 19 at a restaurant in Teton Village, WY. Authorities say Lowery carried a black duffel bag, tent and sleeping bag through Black Canyon Trail the next day, after which point he disappeared.
Teton County Search and Rescue found the body around 40 to 45 miles from the area where authorities discovered the body of 22-year-old Petito. The search team says they found Lowery’s body on a steep slope. Authorities haven’t yet determined his cause of death.
Lowery’s family thanked authorities, the media, and searchers for locating their beloved son, brother and father. They’re currently waiting on autopsy results from the Teton County Coroner’s Office, and just want the space to grieve in private. The Teton County Sheriff’s Office does not suspect a connection between the two deaths.
