Selena Faye Not Afraid was traveling home from a New Year's party on Jan. 1 when she failed to get back into a van that had broken down before it left again
The search for a Montana 16-year-old who went missing on New Year’s Day ended Monday when authorities found her body less than a mile away from the highway rest stop where she’d been left accidentally after the van in which she was riding broke down.
Authorities are awaiting the results of an autopsy, but they suspect Not Afraid died as a result of hypothermia, Undersheriff Eric Winburn tells PEOPLE. Facilities at the rural rest stop off I-90 midway between Billings and Hardin were locked because authorities turn off the water to prevent pipes from freezing, he says.
Those outside of the vehicle had been told to get inside beforehand, and when the driver pulled away, he was aware Not Afraid and another girl weren’t in the van. Knowing this, the driver called for someone to retrieve the two girls, but when the second driver reached the rest stop, only one of the girls was there, says Winburn.
