Emily Sotelo, 19, of Westford, Massachusetts, was dropped off Sunday morning at a Franconia Notch State Park campground. Her hiking route included Mount Lafayette, Haystack, and Flume. Authorities said she was not dressed for the cold weather. Higher-elevation temperatures on Sunday were near zero. Winds were at 30-40 mph, making the wind-chill factor in the range of 30 degrees below zero. Searchers started looking for her later Sunday, after she did not return.
