Three Korean women have been missing for 10 days while traveling to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, prompting a search effort by local police, diplomats said.
 
Contact has been lost with the three women, including a 33-year-old and her 59-year-old mother, since March 13 while they were traveling from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas, according to the Korean consulate in Los Angeles and local police Saturday (local time).
 
The trio had initially planned to return home via San Francisco International Airport on March 17. After losing contact, their family in Korea requested assistance from the Foreign Ministry to locate them.
 
The Consulate General of Korea in Los Angeles said it requested local police and transportation authorities in Arizona to launch an investigation, with the search operation still ongoing.
