Has his DNA been checked against people in the various online sequencing sites? You might be able to find a relative that way. They found a serial killer through that a year or two ago.
Read the article dude
The police poster mentioned "was only able to hike 10 miles a day". Makes me think it's health related, 10 mi / day is absolutely abysmal for a normal thru hiker. Most aim to do that amount by 10 in the morning...
Where is this quote from? It's not from the linked article.
> "10 mi / day is absolutely abysmal for a normal thru hiker."
To the best of my understanding, unless he flip-flopped, he was not a thruhiker as he started in NY. It is not clear either if he made his way south in a continuous footpath.
Moreover, even for a thru-hiker, the 10 by 10 gold standard of hiking does not apply for the majority of hikers on the A.T. It is true it is a gold standard on a well graded trails such as the PCT (well... not counting Sierra Nevada and North Washington), but it is not uncommon from what I've heard, even for thruhikers on the A.T to average 10-12 miles a day. Personally out of the triple crown of US hiking trails, I only thruhiked the PCT, but hiked other long trails where 15 miles/day can be a real struggle where as on the PCT I was able to do 25/day and sometimes more.
Also, it should be noted that he was found dead in Florida, which the Applachian Trail doesn't go through. He might have attempted the Florida Trail which goes through Big Cypress NP.

If someone wants to check, I'd bet he at least forked or starred the github repo. A script to pull the list of those people, minus anyone whos been active since april 2017, would probably show his account.
I wrote a quick script through Github's API, and found 10 users[1] matching the criteria: * starred any screeps repo before May 2017, and no other screeps repo since then * no public contributions or events since April 2017 If someone has some time to do further filtering, ensure the users have not starred any GitHub repo since May 2017 I didn't go through forks but that would also be an avenue.

maybe when you do like being in nature (this was about not just being outdoors, but hiking in the wilderness), you are also escaping something
maybe a reader can resonate with a desire for solitude via anonymity, re: fake name + wad of cash, w/o it being off-putting rhetoric

The last things he did were in 2017.

I agree 100%. I've chosen a life of less work, less stuff and therefore less money. I spend a lot of my time alone on big trips around the world, and out in the wilderness. I'm immensely more happy than I was sitting at a desk watching my life go by without really being alive . I get a lot of this attitude about how I must be "running from something" or I'm "throwing my life away". I think it's a symptom of our moder…
edit: lol wow downvoted? smug much? I never even said I disagreed.
I wonder how long it will be before someone truly cannot be anonymous in this country (or the world). Whenever I come across a book/movie about someone traveling to the future and trying to blend in, my immediate thought is that they will instantly be flagged as suspicious by a hundred different automated systems (where is your advertising profile, credit history, location history, iris scan, microchip??) There proba…
It is much easier in third world countries to hide children / existance. This will make them attractive. In the future you describe you would have a hacked or stolen id.

Looking like someone that has to stay in hostels, versus someone that likes the inherently more social aspect of hostels are very different things.

Checking for users who forked the repo in 2017 and haven't been active since 2017 I got. - amidman - eqzus - Mike Hancoski (follows users from NY, wrote PHP code, his personal website domain wasn't renewed and is now available.)
This guy looks like a clean shaven version of those pictures. Noses look the same. The eyes. No updates to the account since 2015.
