Jul 3, 2006 6:40 am US/Central Colorado Police End Search For SCSU Student (AP) Estes Park, Calif. Police will not actively search for a 20-year-old Nepalese woman last seen June 22, unless they get a new lead, the police chief said Sunday. Pratistha Budhathoki, who was working in this town near Rocky Mountain National Park to help pay for her studies at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, failed to arrive at her job at an ice cream parlor June 18. Police received a report that she was by herself at a deli on top of Prospect Mountain on June 22. A uniform for a Subway sandwich shop where Budhathoki also worked was found this week on a rock outcropping about a half mile from the top of the Estes Park Aerial Tramway on the mountain. About 25 searchers and six technical climbers scoured Prospect Mountain on Saturday, and a smaller group went up Sunday morning, Police Chief Lowell Richardson said. They found nothing. Richardson said investigators would re-interview witnesses and friends. Foul play was not suspected. "All we can say is she just kind of walked away," Richardson told the Rocky Mountain News.
