Boone County sheriff’s deputies say it appears that Tuesday’s death involving a woman falling from a cliff at Pinnacles Youth Park north of Columbia was a tragic accident.
Sheriff’s deputies have not released the victim’s name or age, saying she was an adult female. The victim fell about 50 feet from a cliff at Pinnacles Tuesday at about 10:15 am, according to deputies.
Deputies say the woman was with an acquaintance at the time of the fall and that the acquaintance and another witness have been interviewed. While their investigation remains active, deputies believe it was, in their words, a tragic accident.
