    CHILLIWACK, B.C. — The RCMP have confirmed a body found at the base of a waterfall near Agassiz, B.C., is that of a missing hiker from Australia.
     
    Sophie Dowsley and her partner, 44-year-old Greg Tiffin, were reported missing July 10.
     
    The hikers were last seen July 8 in the Fraser Valley.
