A decomposed body found in Lake County in 1970, dubbed the Independence Pass John Doe, has been identified, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday
Gardner Paul Smith, who was born in Modesto, California in 1930, was identified as the man found by two hikers on June 19, 1970. CBI said his death does not appear to be the result of foul play.
He was considered one of the country’s top racers, according to the Aspen newspaper, which reported in January 1960 that the then 29-year-old was coaching a group of Chilean skiers for the upcoming winter games. Dorworth said the last time he saw Smith in 1968 he was living on the road and attempting to market ski equipment he designed, according to the Leadville Herald Democrat.
