Do we have any reason to think it wasn't the artist or someone related to the artist who took it?

  A now deleted post in the HN thread (for the Utah BLM posting) indicated it was placed by a local outdoor group in memory of someone who died. They were purportedly freaked out it had been found & were trying to get the BLM post deleted - not understanding it had gone viral. ref: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25202573 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25202573 I checked the poster's rep and he seemed like an ordinary HN geek. I'm this side of even odds, that he was being straight up with us. edit: I see now that he seems to disavow the whole thing, toward the bottom of the thread.

    The poster in that thread also followed up later saying that this turned out to be a misidentification of the location of a different memorial.

      Which opens the quest for that "different memorial".
