The boot was first discovered June 1, 2016 by an Eldora employee in the resort’s parking lot. A trail runner later found the rest of his remains about a mile from the resort’s lake near where it is believed Mettler had been camping.
It is unknown how long the remains were on the hillside before their discovery but investigators think it was at least several months judging by the weathering.
