poor boy I can't imagine how he disappeared so fast... maybe a bear or several bears some abyss or cliff... or maybe it was assisted suicide maybe he took his body somewhere else after shooting himself...
rest in peace

Patrick's family has never stopped searching for him. This weekend they posted posters in the area he went missing, asking hunters to be on the lookout for items he was carrying/wearing. The poster is attached.

This post is approved by the family and has a map of key locations, information from police reports, etc.
