Everett Ruess enigma solved?
One of the great mysteries of the southwest is the disappearance of Everett Ruess, a poetic wanderer who vanished near Escalante in 1934. An article in National Geographic's Adventure magazine claims, 75 years later, to have solved the mystery that involves Utes, Navajos, high-tech forensics, medicine men and murder.One day Aneth Nez saw the young man down in the riverbed, only this time he was yelling and riding fast. Nez scanned the wash below and saw three Utes chasing the boy. "They caught up with him and hit him on the head and knocked him off his mule," she recounted. "They left him there and took off with the mules and whatever else the guy had."A tease of the Ruess article can be read here. To get the whole story, you'll have to buy the April/May issue of Adventure and actually read ink on paper.
