Another Woman Reported Missing on Mt. Tam, Rescue Crews Fan Out

By Bay City News Service 

A woman was reported missing Thursday afternoon in the same area of Mount Tamalpais State Park where a Menlo Park woman was last seen before she was found dead on Saturday, a Marin County sheriff's lieutenant said. 

The woman's father reported his daughter missing at 2:33 p.m., Lt. Doug Pittman said. 

She was last seen near the Mountain Home Inn a mile east of the Pantoll Ranger Station where 33-year-old Magdalena Glinkowski was last seen on March 30, Pittman said. 

Pittman said authorities are concerned about the proximity where the two women were last seen. 

"Two women in two weeks within one mile," Pittman said before he headed to the search area. "We have preliminary information she was hiking the same trails," he said. 

Glinkowski left a note on March 30 stating she was going for a hike. Her car was found April 4 near the Pantoll Campground, and security camera footage showed her walking across the parking lot. 

A man who was trail running the day Glinkowski disappeared told the Marin County Sheriff's Office he saw Glinkowski's photo in the media and realized he might have seen her, the sheriff's office said. 

Search and Rescue teams resumed the suspended search for Glinkowski and found her body on April 12 around 9:25 a.m. down a steep slope in a drainage area about a half-mile from the Bootjack parking lot where she was last seen, the sheriff's office said. 

The sheriff's office said Glinkowski's autopsy showed no visible signs of trauma, and the cause and manner of her death are pending toxicology tests. 

Pittman said the autopsy results are inconclusive.
