O'FALLON, Mo. (AP) -- Investigators do not suspect foul play but are still determining the cause of death for a Missouri hiker found dead on a trail in northwest Arkansas.
Other hikers found the body of 31-year-old John Adelsberger the Third Monday morning on the Ozark Highland Trail.
Adelsberger's mother says her son was a computer programmer who had been planning to hike the 180-mile trail for years. He began his hike late last month.
Adelsberger was found lying atop a sleeping bag and under a tarp suspended between trees.
