At least there will be some closure.

Not much for details -- how she was found, or where. But they seem sure of the identity of the remains.
It's sad that she died, but I hope the press conference can shed some light as to whether or not authorities think foul play was involved. Some of the theories surrounding her disappearance have been pretty outrageous.

Didn't someone here on WB have a thread very recently about going to hike in Maine and looking for Inchworm? And in my mind, I was thinking, "yeah, right."
Its also hunting season in Maine. Over the years hunters have found many missing remains.
I expect the news conference will fill in some details.
Stunning. I'm very anxious to hear the rest of this story and thank God for at least partial closure.
And this story will likely set a new record for number of replies surpassing any previous records set by threads about guns, blaze orange or NOBO thru hike start dates.
I can confirm that she was found on SERE property Wednesday. NCIS is investigating. This is really going to send people into orbit.
OK....To enlighten those of us that are uninformed. What is SERE?
Yeah and everyone else laughed this off as preposterous.

What was laughed off as preposterous was the theory that somehow students or staff at SERE school deliberately and maliciously cause her disappearance and subsequent death.
The fact that NCIS is investigating is meaningless in the context of the conspiracy theory. Crimes committed aboard Naval installations or those owned by the Department of the Navy are routinely assigned to be investigated by NCIS and not local law enforcement.

Wow!! I always thought she left the trail for some reason or another. Can't believe she was found, please post as many links to more information of this discovery
Will be interesting to see how far from the trail she was found and what the cause of death is and if it can be determined why she left the trail.
