Collier County Sheriff’s Office posted this yesterday morning (I didn’t notice it until now):
“[CSH (original asker)], we have no confirmed information of where he is from. We believe he started his hike in NY. Thanks.”

To give the comment context, the original commenter posted (paraphrasing) she saw information about Mostly Harmless having a possible connection to Lake George, NY and wanted to know whether the information was legitimate. She also wrote how many tech companies there were in the area.
I realize it has not been confirmed that he was from the area, but reading MSM articles from the last couple of days, I did get the impression he had at least spent some time in the area (i.e., working or going to school).
Now I’m confused.
