A New Jersey woman who became separated from a friend during a hike just outside of Seattle last week and was later found dead may have been using “magic” mushrooms, according to reports.
Officials say that Alisonstar Molaf, 25, was on a hike in the Cascade Mountains located just outside of Seattle with a friend when the two became separated and she went missing. A search ensued and her body was reportedly found by first responders in the Wallace River the next morning.
Officials say the other hiker, who has not been named, may have also been using the psychedelic mushrooms. Listed side effects of “magic” mushrooms include muscle weakness, drowsiness, lack of coordination, increased heart rate, blood pressure and temperature and they have been known to cause paranoia, anxiety or even hallucinations and extreme terror. The have been “decriminalized” in Washington, and are legal in Oregon, according to the New York Post.
According to reports, Molaf and her friend were set for a three-hour hike in Gold Bar, Washington that is considered “moderately challenging,” when they became separated. Molaf’s friend reportedly contacted police just after 8 p.m. saying that she could not locate her friend, and they reportedly searched for her that night without success. Her body was found the next morning near Wallace Falls.
Molaf was reported to be a native of Bergen County who once attended Montclair State University.
