    The chapter begins with a New York Times article which gives minor details of Chris' body being found in the Alaskan Wilderness.  When he was originally found, Chris' body could not be identified because he did not have identification of any kind.  Once the Anchorage Daily News began to publish articles about the mystery, Jim Gallien (see Chapter 1) realized that this must have been the same man that he had dropped off at the edge of the Alaskan wild in the spring.  As the search for Chris' identity continued, Alaskan State Troopers were led to South Dakota.  When the news of Chris' death traveled there, Wayne Westerberg heard of it and called the Alaskan State Troopers to provide information including Chris' real name and social security number.  Although Chris' family could not be immediately located, the authorities got a hold of his oldest step brother, Sam, who identified Chris' body and notified his parents.
