Anyone have information about this gentleman? Seems like he feel off the face of the earth.
 
I am having deja vu because I swear a very, very similar "reconstruction" of a UID was posted somewhere in the last 10 days or so... but there is nothing else out there about THIS MAN that I can find either... so sad when that happens... lack of interest?

I know its kind of sad how some people get so much publicity and others sort of fade away.
 
His truck was found in the southern part of Warren County in a remote location, which aligns with Overall Run Falls.
There is a tremendous amount of forest to the south of that point in the National Park areas. If he wanted to disappear, and appears he is avid outdoorsman, he could vanish for awhile.

Hi, I was wondering if there are any new developments with Mr Harting's case? Was he found? What happened? Did the searchers who were looking for him disappear also? Michelle Mittendorf's case got a huge amount of attention in 2016. There are two other cases that I have documented in this general area since 2008. Both are older men.

2016 Wallace Anderson http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...onal-Park-30-April-2016&p=1252805980-year-old
I certainly would think that Mr. Harting's family would not give up on him.
