FBI involved in search for woman missing in Nepal

GREELEY - The FBI is now involved in the search for a Greeley woman who disappeared in Nepal two months ago, according to the family of the missing woman.

<"it's moved="" from="" a="" search="" and="" rescue="" to="" a="" criminal="" investigation,"="" paul="" sacco="" said.="" sacco's="" daughter,="" 23-year-old="" aubrey="" sacco,="" went="" missing="" while="" on="" a="" trek="" through="" the="" asian="" country="" of="" nepal.="" she="" had="" been="" hiking="" alone="" on="" a="" remote="" trail.="" the="" saccos="" organized="" a="" search="" from="" their="" greeley="" home,="" but="" that="" search="" produced="" few="" results.="" "there="" isn't="" a="" trace="" of="" evidence="" as="" to="" what="" happened,"="" sacco="" said.="" sacco="" and="" his="" son="" joined="" the="" search="" in="" nepal="" and="" recently="" returned="" from="" that="" trip.="" they="" hiked="" the="" same="" trail="" his="" daughter="" was="" likely="" on="" and="" met="" people="" living="" around="" the="" area.="">

He says it is highly likely the villagers know what happened to his daughter, but are not talking for fear of retribution. Still, Sacco says he has not lost hope. "My daughter and I are particularly close," he said. "We're a lot alike in some ways and there's a certain intuition that I feel for her and I just honestly believe she's alive." Sacco says because of Aubrey's disappearance, the U.S. Embassy is now advising women not to travel alone in Nepal.
