The case file for missing person Daniel Aldrich Voss, NPS. Incident number 74-Y-2287 was stored in the filing system of Yellowstone National Parks Law Enforcement Division.
First in a metal drawer in the Canyon Village Ranger Station, then after the administrative reorganization of 1979 in a cardboard transfer box in the archival storage of the park’s main administrative building in Mammoth Hot Springs.
It was not forgotten exactly. Forgotten implies that someone once remembered it with urgency and then ceased to.
The file was reviewed periodically, once in 1976, by a park service cold case coordinator from Denver named Arthur Breen, who added three pages of notes and recommended further soil analysis near the hydrothermal features east of Cascade Creek once in 1981 by a graduate student in criminal justice at the University of Wyoming who was writing a thesis on national park missing person statistics and asked to see the file as part of her research.Find Legal Aid
