Missing American student found dead in Japan after dayslong search

[betsuni]

10. Last year I read a book about disappearances in national forests.

The main character, also found dead, was around the same age, avid hiker and loved the outdoors, had left at night not telling anyone of his plans.

He was described as feeling lost and not adapting to adulthood, worried about the state of the world, listening to Alex Jones and other conspiracy theory sources, underlining verses in the Bible (parents "devout Christians" ). May have been beginning to have symptoms of schizophrenia that start around that age.

Went into the woods to die.
