squidvicious,
Thanks posting that link. We live in Missouri now, so missed that story. It gives a lot of closure for me & I'm sure that it will for Jon as well.
Still no explanation as to why he was up there on that talus slope, 500+ yards above the trail. Loose rock, cliffs, deep ferns & devil's club. (My kind of terrain!)
Or why he might have had that huge check in his wallet.
Obviously, we will never know those details.

yeah, great article squidvicious

cece moore had a series on network TV which was pretty good

I'm waiting for season 2. There are enough good cases to do seasons indefinitely
