This article says that her chute was found in a tree, and that there is "no explanation as to what would have separated the woman from her parachute".

http://news9.com/story.aspx?story=32517914&catId=112032

This is an odd one. If the chute was in a tree, why wasn't she with it? Did she separate from the chute before or after it landed in the tree? If after, where is she? If alive, wouldn't she have contacted someone? If deceased, wouldn't she be fairly close to the tree?

Authorities say the woman's parachute deployed at around 4,000 feet and since then, she's been nowhere to be found. Her parachute was discovered near Harmony Road, east of Cushing.

She was found five miles from her chute, they think she fell completely out of her harness:

How scary. That shouldn't happen.

I hope this okay to post - it's a little obit from her campus. She seems like a really lovely girl and quite a tragic loss.

What a horrible way to die....I can't imagine free falling - the thought of it absolutely terrifies me. RIP Sheralynn.
