On June 12th, 2002, the body of the victim was found on a
walking trail up Jacobs Gulch. He had died of an apparent
self-inflicted gunshot wound to the right side of his head. The
gun, recovered from beneath the body, was a 9mm semiautomatic
Smith & Wesson Model 915. He was well dressed, well nourished
and did not appear to be a transient type person. Fingerprint
comparisons against missing men from several surrounding states
produced no leads. The gun used was traced to a man who had
sold the gun in Houston, Texas in 1996. He has since destroyed
the records of that sale.
