Rocky Mountain human remains may be those of hiker missing since 1983
Fox News
Remains found last year in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park are believed to be of a hiker who went missing in 1983 park officials said Thursday, according to reports.
More than a foot of snow had fallen as rescuers searched in February 1983 for Rudi Moder, 27, a West German living in Fort Collins, Colorado, who was reported missing by his roommate after Moder failed to return on time from a multi-day hike.
The fresh snow prevented searchers from tracking Moder’s footprints. During their four-day search, rescuers found only some of his food and his gear and sleeping bag inside a cave.
