Finding Everett Ruess: Evidence Photo Gallery
Ten years ago, in the premiere issue of ADVENTURE, Contributing Editor David Roberts wrote about the mysterious disappearance of a “vagabond for beauty” named Everett Ruess. A decade later—with the discovery of an unmarked gravesite, its excavation, and a pending DNA analysis—the mystery may be solved. This photo gallery will take you through the story’s key players, as well as the clues and artifacts that could help solve one of the Southwest’s most iconic mysteries. Read Roberts’ full story in this month’s issue (on newsstands April 21).
