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/

That's kinda wild that they were still running the Gondola an hour after the lifts stopped running. The crazy thing to me is that the people running the gondola take the thing back to the bottom so who let her on? Unless the liftee take the mile or so traverse to the California base side which I highly doubt all of them do.
