A bow hunter looking for a shortcut Friday stumbled upon the remains of a man missing for 53 years.
Raymond Jones, a 39-year-old from Salmon, has been missing since 1968. He was bow hunting for mountain goats in the east fork of Hayden Creek in Lemhi County when he was last seen on Sept. 7, 1968.



“There were some other hunters in camp but he was by himself when he disappeared,” Lemhi County Sheriff Steve Penner tells EastIdahoNews.com.



The day after Jones vanished, then-Sheriff Bill Baker was called to the camp and an official search was launched Sept. 9, 1968. The Recorder-Herald reports that aircraft were used in the search, but it was ultimately called off due to severe snowy weather.

NEVER set out alone.

It is said over and over again, but almost everyone who disappears tosses that one universal rule aside each and every time.

I guess that is a good reason they laminate ID cards now.

He was young for a heart attack, so leaves everyone guessing. Animal? Fall? Airplane toilet ice? D.B. Cooper's money landed on him?

People get lost and simply die of exposure. The search was called off in 1968 due to snowy weather is the tip off!
