Steve Keller, 76, an experienced outdoorsman from Palo Alto, California, went missing on September 2, 2023, while on a group hike in the Wind River Mountains near Lander, Wyoming. He was last seen at Steamboat Lake, where he and his group were camping, and became separated while hiking toward Deadman Lake. Keller left his backpack behind at the campsite.

Searches were extensive: ground and air teams, including the Wyoming National Guard and local search and rescue units, combed the rugged terrain. Bad weather and thunderstorms delayed aerial operations. After more than a week of searching, the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office suspended the official search on September 11, 2023, and Keller is presumed deceased; his family has said they may continue searching privately.

Are there hikers or searchers who were at Steamboat Lake or on the Deadman Lake route that weekend who can share observations or sightings?
