This is a photo that every SAR team member in the state of Maine will never forget, the last known photo of Geraldine Largay. FSAR members have volunteered over 1000 hours of their, vacation, weekend and personal time to help discover what happened to Geraldine Largay and bring closure for the family.
The Boston Globe posted this article last week.
We are still looking for you Gerry, we will not give up.

First, my sympathies to the Largay family. Second, the only knowledge I have of the AT is through reading and photos on the internet.
The part of the trail less than an hour north of the Poplar Lean To, mentioned by the two ladies, where stepping six inches off the trail, nobody would ever be found...is that the only area? Are there caves maybe one may have fallen into, or dragged into via animal, etc? Rock or mud slides that may have buried a person?
The southbounder who couldn't remember exactly where he saw her...perhaps the time of day, early morning would put her in the area mentioned above.
The rivers...are the currents that powerful they could wash away a person with absolutely no trace? How far would one be swept downstream in that time?
Has foul play been 100% ruled out?
Are there sidetrails that would lead beyond any connection to the AT, accessed either by mistake or even intentionally?
What about her leaving intentionally, however slim the chance may be? Came across a comment about a rental car in Rangeley, where an older hiker requested a photo taken with her own camera? Don't you need a credit card and driver's license to rent a car? Seems a one way bus ticket would be less noticeable. Is there a sidetrail after the southbounder saw her where she took that led to Rangeley...or another town?
Perhaps any one or all of the above has been explored.
Thank you for your time.
