I have read of a few cases where someone did try to commit suicide in such a way that his body would be difficult to discover.
I think there was a case in Georgia where the man dug a shallow grave, covered himself with brush, and then shot himself (I think he had murdered someone else and the police were closing in). It was unsuccessful.
There was a case in Germany where a man committed suicide after tying himself in a tall spruce tree and shot himself. His remains were discovered 29 years later: http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/04/06/us-germany-skeleton-idUSTRE53553020090406
While RFG was familiar with Lewisburg, I'm wondering how familiar he was with the surrounding area.
