A Bay of Plenty woman overdue from a hiking trip has been found dead. 

Natalie Pedesvova, 32, was last seen leaving her Ōpōtiki address around 5pm on Sunday having told friends she was travelling to the Urewera Ranges, specifically Lake Waikeremoana, to camp and do a trail walk. 

She planned to return the following day.
