REDINGTON TOWNSHIP - The Maine Warden Service believes that the remains of a hiker missing since 2013 have been found.

According to Cpl. John MacDonald, a spokesman for the Maine Warden Service, skeletal remains discovered Wednesday in Redington Township are likely to be those of Geraldine "Gerry" Largay, 66, of Brentwood, Tenn.

"Positive identification will be determined in the coming weeks by the Medical Examiner’s Office," MacDonald said in a statement released Friday, "however, due to the location of the remains and evidence gathered at the scene the Maine Warden Service feels confident that Geraldine has now been located."

The disappearance of Largay, who was last seen on July 22, 2013 at Poplar Lean-to on the Appalachian Trail in Redington Township, triggered numerous searches in northern Franklin County.

Largay, who went by the trail name “Inchworm,” was planning to hike that day to Spaulding Lean-to, approximately 8 miles to the north. The following day, July 23, she had planned to continue hiking north from Spaulding Lean-to located in Mount Abram Township to meet her husband George Largey who was waiting for her at the Route 27 crossing. The AT crosses Route 27 between the towns of Carrabassett Valley and Stratton. Geraldine Largay never arrived at the crossing.
