A relative says he believes a body found in Rock Canyon National Conservation Area outside Las Vegas is a 46-year-old hiker missing since mid-January.

Darrell Kirk of Seattle says the keys to his brother Ronald Kirk's vehicle were found with the body found Saturday in rugged terrain at the popular hiking area about 20 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip.
