Wesley Wamsganz, 22, left his shift at the Downtown Diner in Lake Placid on November 20, 2010, and began walking toward the High Peaks Wilderness instead of going home. Described as strawberry-blonde with a spiritual side, he was last seen near Marcy Dam about two miles into the Adirondak Loj trailhead. He wore a black hooded sweatshirt with a Bob Marley image, cotton pants, hiking shoes, and a red, yellow, and green striped beanie; he carried no backpack, food, or winter gear.
A harsh winter storm hit the area that night, with temperatures in the teens, freezing rain, and heavy snow. An eight-day search involving as many as sixty people found only Wesley’s green Carhartt jacket on a trail toward Avalanche Pass. The terrain there includes dense spruce, boulder fields, and deep crevices which can conceal a person and evidence. No further evidence has emerged and there are no indications of foul play.
Does anyone who was on the Marcy Dam or Avalanche Pass trails around November 20, 2010 remember seeing Wesley or anything unusual that day?
