Body of missing woman surfaces at Kaieteur ravine

Georgetown: The body of Gyaneshwarie Lalita Sivanand, who disappeared a week ago while on a tour of the Kaieteur Falls, was discovered early Sunday morning by Special Forces of the Guyana Defence Force.
Sivanand, who was employed in the field of Human Resource, is a former employee of Laparkan and Singer’s. She was part of a nine man touring party that left the ogle airport for a tour of the world famous water falls in an Air Services Limited aircraft. Reports are that the woman was seen crying and talking on her phone while on the airplane was heading to the tourist destination. When the aircraft landed at the falls the woman appeared to brighten. However, Sivanand was discovered missing when the tour guide was distributing chits to the passengers for snacks, at the Kaieteur airstrip before they boarded the aircraft back to Ogle. One of her colleagues on the trip said that the missing woman was with the party when it was returning along the trail from the falls. She said that the woman lagged behind and when they urged her to walk up she said that she knew the place and that she had been there several times before. She spoke of being with a British team that discovered some caves in the Kaieteur Falls area a few years ago.
