Body of Missing NYC-Based UNICEF Worker Found in Cape Town

The remains of a New York-based employee who was reported missing in March during a vacation in South Africa have been found, according to UNICEF.

Charlotte Nikoi, a Ghanaian citizen, arrived in Cape Town on March 17 to celebrate her wedding anniversary with her family. She was reported missing on March 21 during a hike on Table Mountain.

The U.N. children's agency on Saturday thanked South African authorities for their help in the case and requested privacy on behalf of Nikoi's family.

Nikoi was an associate director for human resources at UNICEF, and a mother of three daughters.

An investigation is underway into the cause of her death.
