Colorado’s Independence Pass “John Doe,” found in 1970, identified as lost legendary skier Gardner Smith
A body found in the tundra atop Colorado’s Independence Pass in 1970 has been identified as legendary ski racer Gardner Paul Smith, a Beat-era adventurer who, before he went missing at age 39, was revered as a free-and-easy companion.“Whatever is right, friend,” he would say.
Smith’s exhumed remains sat for years in the Leadville office of a former coroner until last month when Colorado Bureau of Investigation forensic genetic analysts finally identified the remains using a DNA sample and genealogical sleuthing.
Did no one know he went to that area? I'm surprised he wasn't identified before now.Colorado’s Independence Pass “John Doe,” found in 1970, identified as lost legendary skier Gardner Smith

Great observation. You don't hunt fish. But in smaller areas they aren't patrolled most likely to be within the law maybe. My uncle hunted deer on my grandparents farm when they moved there after my grandparents were gone. He was a very respectful hunter. I didn't see it. I never even saw a deer actually. He didn't hunt them then. Never heard a word of it. No one was going to check. Everything was used. He had a big gun safe, Made his own ammo. Very respectful and responsible. IDK.
