The Marin County coroner's office has identified the missing hiker who was found dead on Mt. Tamalpais Thursday afternoon as 50-year-old Marie Christine Sanner of Mill Valley.
Sanner was hiking on Mt. Tamalpais and was reported missing by her father around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
About five hours later, her body was found by search crews, according to Lt. Keith Boyd of the coroner's office.
She was last seen near the Mountain Home Range Inn a mile east of the Pantoll Ranger Station, Marin County sheriff's Lt. Doug Pittman said.
She was found along Fern Creek below and west of the Matt Davis Trail on Mt. Tamalpais, according to Boyd. Sanner was identified through fingerprints and an autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
There is no apparent connection to Sanner's death and the death of another woman found Saturday, Boyd said.
"The investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is ongoing and no further information regarding the investigation will be released at this time," he added.
