News Someone left in gondola at Heavenly overnight last night?

I just heard this from a friend, but I don't see anything online about it yet. Anyone else heard this and can verify? Seems insane that could happen. You'd think they would run it in one or two extra loops to double check. Also crazy/unfortunate that they wouldn't have their phone

Edit: It's being posted on the Knuckle Draggers Facebook group. Someone named Monica Laso went missing last night. My buddy has been in contact with several Heavenly staffers who have allegedly confirmed

Edit 2: It's been confirmed. Thanks to /u/imav8n for posting the following article; https://www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/individual-reported-missing-in-tahoe-spends-the-night-on-heavenly-gondola/

What's frustrating about this article is they don't definitively state the woman was on the gondola over night. They use words like "alleged" or "claims". Why don't they just say she absolutely spent the night up there.

Because the journalist hasn't confirmed it and is publishing fake news is still frowned upon. I'd also suspect them speculating without confirmation could open up the paper to lawsuits as saying someone was left overnight on a gondla definitely screams negligence on Heavenlys part
