Have they had any leads or new leads of who this man could be?
what about this man? he went missing from Canada Jan 1957 and was distraught that a woman would not marry him because she was already married. He took off with a dog and a gun and left all id and wallet behind.
"On Jan. 29, 1957, his mother reported to police that her 30-year-old son hadnt been seen in a week. She said hed left his wallet and identification at home, but that hed taken his dog and his gun with him."

I forgot to add something that is possibly significant.
I am pretty familiar with the PA Turnpike. The section from Irwin to Carlisle is the original part, opened in 1940. Since it is a divided high speed highway, there were separate service plazas on each side of the Turnpike, meaning that if he were dropped off while hitchhiking, he would presumably have been heading west if his body was found north of the turnpike. Otherwise, he would have had to cross a high speed highway toting a full load of camping gear and a rifle. Unlikely.
Except for one thing; Midway, and ONLY Midway of all the plazas, had a small building and a parking area on the north side (westbound) and a service plaza with public dining and dorm type sleeping facilities (for truck drivers) on the south side (eastbound). They were connected by a tunnel under the turnpike. There are now separate service plazas on each side, and the tunnel is unused. I went through it as a kid. Anyway, the upshot is if he were dropped off on the turnpike he could have been travelling east OR west. And that's the only plaza at which he could have done that.
