UPDATED: Sun., July 2, 2017, 8:14 p.m.

A 21-year-old hiker who was missing overnight has been located, the Spokane County Sheriffs Office said Sunday evening.

Jacob B. Caravalho apparently walked 27 miles from Liberty Lake Regional Park to a house south of Coeur dAlene near U.S. Highway 95, where he asked for help.

Kootenai County sheriffs deputies were contacting him Sunday evening to check on his condition.

Caravalho was reported missing at around 9 p.m. Saturday, according to a Sheriffs Office news release. His vehicle was found in the Off Road Vehicle Park, 2110 S. Idaho Road, but the search was suspended at about 11 p.m. due to terrain and lack of light, deputies said.

The search resumed at about 7 a.m. Sunday, with help from the Liberty Lake Police Department, Spokane County Parks rangers and sheriffs air support.

Caravalho was hiking alone. He reportedly had a backpack with him.
