He was just a kid, only 22. I wonder what happened? Was he hiking alone and had an accident?

RIP Nathan and prayers to your family.

This poor family!! He wasn't even supposed to be anywhere near Salida. Sadly, they'll never truly get answers as to why he did any of this. He was found about 8 miles from where his car was found in Salida.

This is so sad. I think authorities treated this case as if Nathan was voluntarily missing and there were no organized efforts to physically search for him. It seems he was not ready to return to school after leaving his family's home but whether or not he traveled to Salida on his own is another question. It may be as innocent as he gave somebody a ride but we will never know. I hope his mother is comforted knowing that he did reach out to her to say he arrived at school before things went sideways. #RIP Nathan and condolences to all who loved him.
