"Wanderer's last trail found after 75 years After Everett Ruess vanished in Utah's wilds in 1934, relatives tried to retrace his steps. But a few overheard words are what have now led to his bones. By Kevin Vaughan The Denver Post

As the man's eyes wandered across the red-rock country of southeastern Utah, he first saw a weather-beaten saddle jammed in a canyon wall crevice and then, behind it, bleached bones sticking out from the earth — the keys to unlocking one of the West's enduring mysteries.

That discovery, made more than a year ago, came full circle Thursday with the announcement that the bones belong to Everett Ruess, a poet and painter, writer and thinker who vanished near the Four Corners area in 1934." 68.103.71.44 (talk) 03:57, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Information on these events were added to the article — but the remains were ultimately found by DNA analysis to not be those of Ruess, and were identified as someone else (information also added by other editors). General Ization ^Talk 05:44, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
