It's easy for even a big search to miss someone, even when that person is alive. Geraldine Largay got lost on the Appalachian Trail in Maine, survived for 26 days, and died less than 2 miles from the trail, yet a large search didn't find her, and her remains weren't found for more than two years after her disappearance:

- colanderman 10y agoNot to mention that once off a trail, it can be nearly impossible to see it until you're back on it.
- avenoir 10y agoI have read multiple sources over the years that her remains were found at a place that was searched numerous times. The strange thing is that a lot of these missing people cases mention the same thing - body found in a heavily searched area to the amazement of the search party. However, none of this stuff gets any press because it all sounds hokey pokey. The guy who investigates these things, David Paulides, is an ex-cop/detective. He publicly states that he has no clue how these people are disappearing and never throws out opinions in fear of ridicule and dismissal. I encourage to listen to some of his interviews on this. It's all truly fascinating.
