not a guess as to identity but maybe he killed himself because he encountered a bear? who knows. it is odd he was so well prepared then shot himself.
The gorgeous scenery and abundance of recreation opportunities in Summit County belie the quiet suffering of many of its people. In fact, suicide rates are typically higher in mountain towns, a puzzling phenomenon that defies simple explanation. The suicide rate in Summit County was 21.3 per 100,000 in 2015, according to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. The statewide rate is 19.4, one of the highest in the country.
"This is just speculation, but I think part of it is that Colorado is magnet state, and Summit County is a magnet area," said Vaine. "I think some people come here with a fantasy of what life will be like in a resort area, but they end up isolated and working many, many hours to make ends meet. And the problems they came here with persist."
Researchers comparing suicide rates have concluded that populations living at higher elevations may have higher suicide rates, making living in the high country a risk factor.
Doh, :facepalm: and I just realized they think the UID died in 2012 from the 2012 water bottles, so disregard the part about 2013. I was thinking if he was alive when the reward was raised he might have felt the risk of getting caught was too great after that and decided to end it himself. I also realized the glock description is not exactly a match. I don't know much about handguns, but the one found on the UID was a .45 Glock and Brown had two guns-- a 9mm Glock and .45 handgun. I guess both guns could have been Glocks? IDK. Anyway, I don't feel strongly enough about Brown to submit him as a match but if anyone else does, please feel free. :seeya:
this guy was a runaway from Utah in 2006 Michael Charles Marsh

Good find! His glasses look very close to the UID's glasses.
ETA: He is a bit too young, however, for the suggested age range. He was 16 in 2007 which would make him only 23 in 2012.
I came across this profile which could possibly fit.. he’s on the older end of the possible age, but he went missing from near by Utah

I agree with others who wonder why he has such solid gear, but apparently killed himself.
