Could have been a man or a woman.
Lucky young woman - that someone saw the crash, in such a remote spot.

In the video she spoke repeatedly of being supposed to "follow the water" as a navigation method, and in the newspaper article it is said "After leaving Greybull, Wyo., Morgan became disoriented and started flying in almost the opposite direction of where she needed to be going".

Perhaps she should be told what a compass looks like, although I guess that is a little judgemental on my part!

Some instruction in Situational Awareness may also be appropriate.
