A truly baffling case. At this point, we can only hope that her remains are found sometime in the near future, perhaps when all the leaf cover is gone in Fall and Winter.
The husband of a Tennessee woman last seen hiking on the Appalachian Trail in Franklin County in July is offering a $15,000 reward for information on her whereabouts.
Can anyone remember reading a specific time that George received the text from Gerry atop Saddleback Mountain?
I thought at one time I read 12:00pm, but I can't find it anywhere.
Anyone have that info???
Gerry sent a text to her husband at 7:15 a.m. on July 24th the day they planned to connect but she never arrived.
A self-described professional Bigfoot hunter and two companions have released a video of themselves finding a sports bra they speculated might have belonged to Geraldine Largay, who disappeared from the Appalachian Trail in July.
But the Maine Warden Service said a connection to the case is unlikely.

Hunters or others in the area who see something that they think might be connected to Largay are asked not to collect or disturb the items. Instead, police ask that the finder mark or flag the area, note the GPS coordinates if possible, take pictures, and call the Maine State Police at 624-7076.
It's sad but not really that baffling. She was in a remote area on a wilderness trail. If she fell, or had a medical emergency that caused her to become confused, or if she simply missed a turn and became lost, she could easily have become lost in a place where no one could find her. It's sad, but it happens. In that part of the mountains, a search party could have walked within five feet of her and not seen her. There are places where they could have been standing within inches and not seen her.
I haven't hiked that particular trail but I have hiked in the region. The trails tend to be rugged and rocky, with frequent steep and slippery parts. The undergrowth is often heavy, especially in late summer. We once had an incident where we temporarily lost our thirteen-year-old son when he went off the trail by accident. We knew within 500 feet where he had to be and it still took us 20 minutes to find him. He could hear us calling but because of the oddities of mountain acoustics we couldn't hear him. Fortunately he was smart enough to just sit down and stay where he was until he could get my husband's attention. More experienced hikers tend to keep walking in what they think is the direction of the trail; they often get themselves more and more lost.
