Oh god. That is so terrible. That poor woman. To be so close to a road and not know it. Her husband seems so sweet with his support of her hiking
EVEN IN HER FINAL DAYS, Gerry Largay worried about what might hurt or inconvenience her family. At her campsite, she had chopped up her credit card and buried the pieces so that no one could exploit it. She kept her driver’s license so that it would be easy to identify her. She neatly stacked her pots and pans and sealed the journal she’d been keeping in a waterproof bag, along with the instructions, George please read. XOXO. She folded her glasses and placed them into a storage pocket on her tent. Then she tucked herself into her sleeping bag for the last time.
Oh wow. That made me sad.A very long article, with lots of details about what happened and how. Lots of details from her diary.

I can't believe how close she was to a main trail.
n her journal, Gerry wrote that she wanted her family to know she was sorry — that no hike was more important than them. She wrote each of them a long letter, putting into words her gratitude for all they had shared and offering thoughts about how they could move forward.
“They are more than love letters,” George explains. “They are life letters.”
My deepest love to you, Gerry wrote in one of the last of them. And to all my friends. I pray to see you all in heaven.
This whole case breaks my heart.
The part where she basically apologizes, and says that no hike was ever more important than her family members, was heart wrenching. You know that she felt guilty about the whole thing at the end. How sad. She was only doing something she loved, with the support of her family, but she felt the burden of choosing to go on the ill-fated AT hike at the end.
It is incredibly sad. She seemed like a good person, which makes it more sad.This whole case breaks my heart.

I can't bring myself to read her last entries. Knowing that she was going to die alone, in the woods, and she was never going to see her family again is just too much. I just can't go there mentally.
I was at least hoping she had her dog to comfort her, when was he/she found?

I don't think she had a dog. She was hiking alone at this part of her journey on the AT.
Ok just kidding. I think I confused this case with another one. I apologize.

I still think about this case from time to time. It breaks my heart.

I remember watching the episode of North Woods Law where they were searching for her.
Happy Birthday! I hid a dead body in your backyard to celebrate. Good luck finding it under the cement. You can only use a stick to look for it.
