When Geraldine "Gerry" Largay (AT trail name, Inchworm) first went
missing on the Appalachian Trail in remote western Maine in 2013,
the people of Maine were wrought with concern. When she was not
found, the family, the wardens, and the Navy personnel who searched
for her were devastated. The Maine Warden Service continued to
follow leads for more than a year. They never completely gave up
the search. Two years after her disappearance, her bones and
scattered possessions were found by chance by two surveyors. She
was on the U.S. Navy's SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and
Escape) School land, about 2,100 feet from the Appalachian Trail.
This book tells the story of events preceding Geraldine Largay's
vanishing in July 2013, while hiking the Appalachian Trail in
Maine, what caused her to go astray, and the massive search and
rescue operation that followed. Her disappearance sparked the
largest lost-person search in Maine history, which culminated in
her being presumed dead. She was never again seen alive. The author
was one of the hundreds of volunteers who searched for her. Gerry's
story is one of heartbreak, most assuredly, but is also one of
perseverance, determination, and faith. For her family and the
searchers, especially the Maine Warden Service, it is also a story
of grave sorrow. Marrying the joys and hardship of life in the
outdoors, as well as exploring the search & rescue community,
When You Find My Body examines dying with grace and dignity. There
are lessons in the story, both large and small. Lessons that may
well save lives in the future.
