Everett Ruess's body NOT FOUND!

I just was told this info from some friends in Moab Utah.....they have found the remains of Everett Ruess, and the remains have been positively identified solving this 75 year old mystery of the southwest four corners in the USA.

Everett wandered away from Escalante Utah, into the red rock wilderness never to be seen again. This has been a mystery of the highest degree in the 4 corners area. People have wondered if he had been killed by Native Americans, or just fallen off a cliff, or if he had just 'gone native' to get away from the white society. His family never gave up searching for him.

WOOPS!!!

After a while of serious testing of these remains, they are now saying the remains have NO link whatsoever to the Reuss family. This was just announced by The Utah Museum of Natural History today and was on the local news....

So the mystery remains a mystery.
