I held this note in my hand. Very surreal. I did some legwork on it but couldn't really get much going. Reached out to older Amtrak folks, the former medical examiner. Didn't go anywhere. The note was written in very neat English print. Very strange.

Was going through my archives and realized I may not have shared all my photos of Vance Rodriguez. These weren’t closeups and that’s probably why I didn’t share them. I believe one of the hikers I connected with sent these to me, but I can’t recall which one. Anyway, they show him interacting...

Here’s mh Philadelphia Inquirer story on this case. Roberta Michels-Hopkins

Anything new on this?

This Variety article tries to spell out what the documentary is about. Gillespie: To me, the story was never about him. It was about what his story meant to other people. And it’s a story about finding yourself when you’re looking for somebody else. There are a lot of people, overwhelmingly...

I have not seen it. I decided not to take part in it, but it's wild to see it coming to HBO.

Yeah, I was wondering that. A big snow melt might help.

Thank You.

Have any of you seen the documentary yet?

Here's a story I wrote about Matthew What We Search For - Alpinist.com

Thanks

I came here to post this story, but looks like you’ve all seen it already. I wrote it, along with two colleagues, for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
