Is there a live link?
Thank you EE for alerting us. I had been forgetting to check the tv schedule. It was very sobering to see her effects.
Yes we finally understand exactly what that was about. I imagine the Warden Service felt it wasn't necessary to explain their dismissal of the call before but we all sure would have liked to know why.
This part bothered me and maybe I'm reading too much into it, but did she really think she was still within the AMC jurisdiction which ended back @ Speck Pond before Grafton? MATC puts signs at all...
North Woods Law episode tonight with Gerry's recovery last October. On in 20 minutes (here in Maine anyway).
I seem to remember (from a while back) she had chosen not to carry her SPOT in Maine. Was this mentioned on the NWL episode? I still have that saved and maybe will re-watch. I don't remember hearing...
I guess you didn't see any of the coverage of her search or the NWL episode. Maine Warden service has a huge mobile command center with a large antennae tower that was brought up to Sugarloaf and...
She did have an AT section map according to the contents of her gear when found last October and a small keychain compass.
I do think paralyzed is the correct assessment. It's very sad and...
Very well said. I think that is precisely what happened. Paralyzed in what became her new comfort zone: the immediate area around her tent.
We'll never know some of the answers. While not widely reported at first it's been said from those that hiked with her, she was abysmal at directions, always heading back the wrong way from shelters,...
I met the two of you in the woods just before the Kennebec in 04. I could smell you before I saw you and by that I mean all of a sudden I smelled cigarette smoke and thought "what the hey?" Came...
Starfly, I don't know why you keep asking this question. You know MASAR was not accepting anyone who wasn't trained and considered qualified by them. My husband has been a b/c ranger in BSP (gasp)...
It was reported by others she didn't like to tent and preferred shelters so I can't imagine she didn't have some kind of sleeping pad w her, every single thru hiker carries something. So I too am...
Yes it does and finally answers some of my questions. But I still ask why this information wasn't made public immediately after she was found? Why dodge the question about her sleeping bag and/or...
Nobody's commented on these? What's the story? Where are these - or are they same cross and memorial? Who put them there - did the family come back up to Maine to see the site where she was found?
I'm having a hard time seeing where the AT is on this map. When I zoom out a bit a thin white line appears to enter from the Saddlebacks and exit towards Spaulding. But the areas searched is covering...
I hesitated to critique anything she said Starfly, but I just said the same thing to my husband this morning. That area is not a 2-3 hours walk from a vehicle. People were slackpacking this section...
This was posted on MASAR's FB page within the last day by Deb Palman of Maine K9 services who has more credentials than you can count.
"None of the SAR dog teams were closer than 250 feet from...
You are correct. I also listened to the news conference and a reporter asked if it was true she was found in her tent. I addressed this in the "found gerry" thread on here at the time. Kevin Adam...
I can't begin to go back through this thread from 2013 but does anyone remember the cell phone activity that day? Wasn't there a text sent around 10:30am on Monday? Maybe there was a track recovered...
Me too. Makes no sense. Takes weeks to starve to death. Exposure? She had a full kit. Water? In Maine? Get real.
Yes I consider and have been trained to consider hypothermia as an illness or medical event. I should have qualified that statement to encompass "medical event". She would have just rockhopper...
I've sent a message to MASAR to confirm this. It's an important difference. But I know I heard feet. I can't find a video of that part of the conference - though there is one of the Q&A portion on...
I watched the press conference and took notes and I heard 3000 feet as well as did Aislinn:
