Everett Ruess: Found?

Wow I cannot believe it. The body of the famed wanderer was finally found on comb ridge. This changes EVERYTHING. Everyone thought his last place was Davis Gulch when in fact it was 60 miles east. How did he get there? Did he take his burros across the river? What did he see and why would someone want to kill such a tender guy? Lance and I have been looking at Davis Gulch for many years for any sort of clues or artifacts about the disappearance and now this just changes everything. There's so much I want to know about his experiences in Grand Gulch. Where is his 1934 journal? Does someone have it out there or was it burned never to reach his family's eyes? We will probably never know but I am so happy for his family, although saddened that his brother who spent his whole life dedicated to finding him died only a year before they found him.
