Search teams scoured Glacier National Park's backcountry Thursday, hunting for an overdue backpacker presumed lost in the wilderness. Yi-Jien Hwa, 27, of both Kentucky and Malaysia, was due back on Monday, Aug. 18. When he did not call family as planned, park rangers were alerted, said Glacier spokeswoman Norma Sosa.
