Finally Found
A Navy forester finally found Gerry’s tent near the Appalachian Trail. She was inside her sleeping bag. The issue was she’d been missing for two years, two months, and 24 days. This poor man just solved a missing person’s case and reported it to appropriate authorities.
The Tragic Circumstances
They found Gerry’s journal with her body, and her last entry was dated August 18. However, authorities aren’t sure that this was correct. If so, that meant she’d been alive 26 days after the missing person’s report! In fact, her tent was about two miles north of the trail and just 30 minutes from lodging.
