Found Deceased NH - John Matson, 79, has dementia, friendly, but may get paranoid and try to hide, Hampstead, 6 July 2022

The lack of foliage on the trees helped with visibility, and on Saturday, New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officer Rob McDermott picked up drone footage of skeletal remains and clothing, Hampstead police said.

Officers returned to the swamp Sunday, enduring heavy rain and chest-deep water as they made their way to the remains, which Hampstead police said were located approximately 500 feet away from “dry land.”

“It should be noted that this area consisted of marsh clumps and channels of deep, mucky swamp beds,” the department added.

Even with an exact GPS location, it took a five-person search team nearly 30 minutes to find the remains and almost three hours to create a path so the remains could be carried out of the swamp, according to Hampstead police.
