She was hiking down the South Kaibab Trail, and her backpack was found near the junction of the South Kaibab Trail and the River Trail, park staff said. The woman was hiking with two children. ages 10 and 11, who were safe and accounted for.

Beadle was described as Caucasian female standing 5-foot-4 and weighing 130 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. She is thought to be wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Beadle was considered to be an experienced backpacker and hiker; she last hiked at Grand Canyon in 2002.
