Aaron Joseph Hedges, Disappeared September 7, 2014, Remains Found August 8, 2016, Crazy Mountains, Northern Rocky Mountains, Montana.

Aaron Joseph Hedges, a 38-year-old hunter from Bozeman, went elk hunting in the Crazy Mountains in Montana in early September 2014 with his two friends, Greg Leitner of Idaho and Joe Depew of Bozeman.

The hunters began their planned week-long trip at the Cottonwood Lake Trailhead on Thursday, September 3, 2014, around 20 miles north of Billings in Montana. Hedges carried a bow, arrows, and handgun in his pack, whereas his companions were armed with rifles. They intended to base themselves around Campfire Lake, and the group had two horses and a mule, though Aaron walked in.

Aaron was last heard from on September 5, 2014, and nearly two years later, his body finally turned up 15 miles from Sunlight Lake, his original destination, in strange circumstances.
